Modern

Saw your face and felt a change and you
Said you wanted to go to the gardens again
I told you that I'm no modern man
But I'm doing the best I can

And in my mind, it’s all melodic
The way you hold me like a goddess
Born a liar but you make me feel so honest
And now I'm getting lost in you

And I'm a cinematic tragedy
But you can fall into my hands if you’re willing
To adore me

So this is how it begins
Already see how this ends
I feel you pulling on my ribs
I'm not an angel but you knew it from the genesis

So this is how it begins
Already see how this ends
Already over in my head
But I'm not ready to wake up without you in my bed

How could I be so forgiving
I haven’t gone to the city in years
But I felt the shaking in your hands
And knew exactly what to feel

And I’ve been scared of you
And scared of myself
And scared of the feeling
And raising some hell
In a motel bathroom of a town
I can’t pronounce

And I'm a cinematic tragedy
But you can fall into my hands if you’re willing
To adore me

So this is how it begins
Already see how this ends
I feel you pulling on my ribs
I'm not an angel but you knew it from the genesis

So this is how it begins
Already see how this ends
Already over in my head
But I'm not ready to wake up without you in my bed

And it makes me sad
You didn’t know me like that
When your friends all ask
You didn’t know me like that
But it’s just enough
To keep me stumbling back
I'm afraid to ask

And it makes me sad
You didn’t know me like that
When your friends all ask
You didn’t know me like that
And it’s just enough
To keep me stumbling back
And it makes me sad

So this is how it begins
Already see how this ends
I feel you pulling on my ribs
I'm not an angel but you knew it from the genesis

So this is how it begins
Already see how this ends
Already over in my head
But I'm not ready to wake up without you in my bed
