Modern Romance

Well the view is sweet
But the valley's deep
Don't get too close to the edge
Dip a toe but don't submerge
The water's nice but dark and full of danger

And we wave at each other
Fake recognition
Brush past each other again
But our touch don't linger
Move in separate ways
To keep from falling
To keep from falling
Keep from falling

It's a modern day romance
It's a modern day love
That's what it is

It's a modern day love affair
It's a modern day romance
It's a modern day love
That's what it is

It's a modern day love
Ain't dead
It just smells funny

Romance isn't dead
It just smells funny

Keep it cool
Feelings are for fools
Spread the love wide and thin
Don't be sweet
Or wear your heart on your sleeve
First to care is the first to lose

And if the love starts blooming
Nip it in the bud
Pretend like it's always sturdy spring
Don't let the touch linger
Move in separate ways
To keep from falling
To keep from falling
Keep from falling

It's a modern day romance
It's a modern day love
That's what it is

It's a modern day love affair
It's a modern day romance
It's a modern day love
That's what it is

It's a modern day love
Ain't dead
It just smells funny

Romance isn't dead
It just smells funny

It's a modern day romance
It's a modern day love
That's what it is
It's a modern day love affair
It's a modern day romance
It's a modern day love
That's what it is

It's a modern day love affair
It's a modern day romance
It's a modern day love

That's what it is
It's a modern day love affair
It's a modern day romance
It's a modern day love
