Bloc Party - This Modern Love
★ Verse 1 ★
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
I've been 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
★ Verse 2 ★
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 discerning
I will be yours
★ Bridge ★
I'll pay for you anytime
I'll pay for you anytime
★ Instrumental Break ★
★ Verse 3 ★
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
I will be yours
What are you holding out for?
What's always... (In the way?)
Why so damn absent-minded?
Why so scared... (Of romance?)
★ Chorus ★
This modern love breaks me
This modern love wastes me
This modern love breaks me
This modern love wastes me
★ Instrumental Break ★
★ Outro ★
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Do you wanna come over and kill some time?
Tell me facts, tell me facts, tell me facts, tell me facts
Throw your arms around me
