Verse The sunlight, no sound Seek shade until we touch the ground Rough night, hard flown Gotta promise you an open door List out, call lubes Can't remember walking back with you Skin burns, blood foams Now we've got a place to call our own Pre-Chorus This modern love Was always gonna fade away This modern love And now we're gonna start again This modern love This modern love Oh, oh, I can hear you calling out Oh, oh, echoes of a distant sound Verse Still high, for now Walk woman, try to figure it out Heart beats so slow Now we're living in the afterglow Chorus This modern love Was always gonna fade away This modern love And now we're gonna start again This modern love This modern love Oh, oh, I can hear you calling out Oh, oh, echoes of a distant sound Bridge I just wanna stay strong Been waiting for your love so long I just wanna stay strong Been waiting for your touch Oh, oh, I can hear you calling out Oh, oh, echoes of a distant sound Chorus This modern love Was always gonna fade away This modern love And now we're gonna start again This modern love This modern love Oh, oh, I can hear you calling out Oh, oh, echoes of a distant sound
