This Modern Love - Bloc Party

To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift

You’ve been trying to reach me, you bought me a book

To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift

I’ve been paid, I’ve been paid

To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift

You’ve been trying to reach me, you bought me a book

To be lost in the forest, to be caught adrift

I’ve been paid, I’ve been weighed, I’ve been

Don’t get offended if I seem absent-minded

Just keep telling me facts and keep making me smile

And don’t get offended if I seem absent-minded

I get tongue-tied

Baby, you’ve got to be more discerning

I’ve never known what’s good for me

Baby, you’ve got to be more demanding

I will be yours

I’ll pay for you anytime

I’ll pay for you anytime

And you told me you wanted to eat up my sadness

Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away

And you told me you wanted to eat up my sadness

(Jump right)

Baby, you’ve got to be more discerning

I’ve never known what’s good for me and

Baby, you’ve got to be more demanding

(Jump left)

What are you holding out for?

What’s always… (In the way?)

Why so damn absent-minded?

Why so scared… (Of romance?)

This modern love breaks me

This modern love wastes me

This modern love breaks me

This modern love wastes me

Do you wanna come over and kill some time?

Do you wanna come over and kill some time?

Do you wanna come over and kill some time?

Throw your arms around me
