This Modern Love Lyrics - Silent Alarm - Bloc Party

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 

Don't get offended 

If I seem absent minded 

Just keep telling me facts 

And keep making me smile 

Don't get offended 

If I seem absent minded 

I get tongue-tied 

Baby, you've got to be more discerning 

I've never know what's good for me 

Baby, you've got to be more demanding 

I will be yours 

I'll pay for you anytime 

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 never know what's good for me 

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? 

This modern love breaks me 

This modern love wastes me 

Do you want to come over and kill some time? 

Throw your arms around me
