Said you'd stick around 'till the shadows disappear
There's a New York in your mind but there's nothing like that here
I'm trying to recall our rise and our fall
And I'm choking on history and nothing at all
This Modern Love
It's got nothing to do with anything that we're made of
This Modern Love
It's not in our bones it's not in our blood
I never put your name in silver or gold
I left my fingerprints in dust
You said "it's so cold in these cities we've known"
It's just steel and glass breathing
Skin and bone
Modern Love
It's got nothing to do with anything that we're made of
This Modern Love
It's not in our bones it's not in our blood
You can walk the mile to the train
See her silhouette
On the platform in the rain
She's not a memory yet
You can make the clouds disappear, the train pull away
You can dream you stopped the rain
But you couldn't make her stay
