Modern Love

(album: Tell Me I'm Alive - 2023)

Look at you now, super strung out
What would your mother say?
Some killer queen, making a scene
Don't got a price to pay
Hook in my mouth, stringing me out on every word you say
Those are the boys, these are the girls, don't matter anyway
So quick to jump ship on some flavor of the week shit
So now, I'll take you home tonight if only for the hell of it

Stacy, please, I'm suffocating
Choking on infatuation
You're obsessed with drugs and dating
Modern love's too complicated (Complicated, complicated, complicated)

You're missing the point, nobody lasts after the honeymoon
Why even try giving it back if there's a chance you'll lose?
Out of the red and into the blue
See it for what it is
Chasing the high or living the lie
Just like your parents did
But I'll take you home tonight

Stacy, please, I'm suffocating
Choking on infatuation
You're obsessed with drugs and dating
Modern love's too complicated
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
The carousel don't stop for us so
Bite my lip and spin me faster
Modern love's a beautiful disaster

Look at you now, super strung out

Some killer queen, making a scene
Don't got a price to pay
Hook in my mouth stringing me out on every word you say
Those are the boys, these are the girls, don't matter anyway

Stacy, please, we're suffocating
Tired of all the drugs and dating
Turns out it's less devastating
Staying home and masturbating

Stacy, please, I'm suffocating
Choking on infatuation
So obsessed with drugs and dating
Modern love's too complicated
'Round and 'round and 'round we go
The carousel don't stop for us so
Bite my lip and spin me faster
Modern love's a beautiful
Modern love's a beautiful
Modern love's a beautiful disaster
