Lyrics

To be lost in the forest, to be cut adrift
You've been trying to reach me, you bought me a book
To be lost in the forest, to be cut adrift
I've been paid, I've been paid

To be lost in the forest, to be cut adrift
You've been trying to reach me, you bought me a book
To be lost in the forest, to be cut adrift
I've been paid, I've been wait, I've been..

Don't get offended, if I seem absent minded
Just keep telling me facts, and keep making me smile at
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 demanding
I will be yours

I'll pay for you, anytime
I'll pay for you, anytime

And you told me you wanted, to eat up my sadness
Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away
You told me you wanted, to eat up my sadness
Jump right

Baby, you've got to be more discerning
I've known never known what's good for me
And baby, you've got to be more demanding
Jump left

What are you holding out for?
What's always (in the way)?
Why so damn absent-minded?
Why so scared (of romance)?

Ah, ah, ah, ah
This modern love (ah, ah, ah), breaks me
Ah, ah, ah, ah
This modern love (ah, ah, ah), wastes me
Ah, ah, ah, ah
This modern love (ah, ah, ah), breaks me
Ah, ah, ah, ah
This modern love (ah, ah, ah), wastes me

Do you wanna come over, and kill some time?
Do you wanna come over, and kill some time?
Do you wanna come over, and kill some time?
Throw your arms around me
