Lyrics
0:16You hope one day you'll watch me scream
0:18I can’t be cool 'bout everything
0:21You know my weakness, where to cling
0:24I'm not prepared to let you in
0:27I focused on myself this spring
0:30Took time to fix my broken wings
0:33You still assume the worst of me
0:36My feelings don’t mean anything
0:40And how can I be a modern man
0:43When you give as little as you can?
0:46And you still have me holding back tears
0:53I'm not some stupid Romeo
0:55I pride myself that I'm a hoe
0:58They watch me come, they watch me go
1:01It's you I want and that they know
1:05But I'm focused on mysеlf right now
1:08To fix in-flight, what I lost in sound
1:11You still assume the worst of me
1:14My feelings don't mеan anything
1:18And how can I be a modern man
1:20When you give as little as you can?
1:24And you still have me holding back tears
1:31If we talk about love we gotta talk about boredom
1:35I haven't seen your jeans since I last wore them
1:37Can I trade it in and take time back?
1:40It didn't have to get like that
1:44Our eyes on other lovers saying we abhor them
1:47And watch ’em close another door while we adore them
1:50It didn’t have to get like this
1:53No, no
1:59How can I be a modern man
2:01When you give as little as you can?
2:04And you still have me holding back tears
2:07How can I be a modern man
2:14When you give as little as you can?
2:16And you still have me holding back tears
You hope one day you'll watch me scream I can’t be cool 'bout everything You know my weakness, where to cling I'm not prepared to let you in I focused on myself this spring Took time to fix my broken wings You still assume the worst of me My feelings don’t mean anything And how can I be a modern man When you give as little as you can? And you still have me holding back tears I'm not some stupid Romeo I pride myself that I'm a hoe They watch me come, they watch me go It's you I want and that they know But I'm focused on mysеlf right now To fix in-flight, what I lost in sound You still assume the worst of me My feelings don't mеan anything And how can I be a modern man When you give as little as you can? And you still have me holding back tears If we talk about love we gotta talk about boredom I haven't seen your jeans since I last wore them Can I trade it in and take time back? It didn't have to get like that Our eyes on other lovers saying we abhor them And watch ’em close another door while we adore them It didn’t have to get like this No, no How can I be a modern man When you give as little as you can? And you still have me holding back tears How can I be a modern man When you give as little as you can? And you still have me holding back tears
