Twin Shadow - Modern Man lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] And how can I be a modern man When you give as little as you can? And you still have me holding back tears [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] And how can I be a modern man When you give as little as you can? And you still have me holding back tears [Interlude] 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 [Chorus] 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
