[Verse 1]
Sunlight, no sound
Seek shade until we touch the ground
Rough night, hard floor
Gotta promise you an open door

[Verse 2]
Blissed out, cut loose
Can’t remember walking back with you
Skin burns, blood flows
Now we’ve got a place to call our own

[Chorus]
This modern love
Was always gonna fade away
This modern love
And now we’re gonna start again

[Breakdown]
This modern love, this modern love
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I can hear you calling out
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
Echoes of a distant sound

[Verse 2]
Still high, for now
Walk home and 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

[Breakdown]
This modern love, this modern love
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I can hear you calling out
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh 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 oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I can hear you calling out
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh 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

[Breakdown]
This modern love, this modern love
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
I can hear you calling out
(Oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh)
Echoes of a distant sound
