Modern Man

I'm walking taller
Getting further from
The monkey minded
Mayhem of my youth
My back is straight
My fists don't scrape
With age I'm still evolving
To the truth & now I choose

Love not hate
Responsibility
Is not the weight
I thought it used to be
I was young once
I hope that you grow old
We got more in common
Than you think you know

You can cry on my shoulder
And talk it out
Thoughts only get darker if you don't let them out
Come on hold my hand
We're both modern men
This is not an ordinary love story
But I love you man
It's time to be a modern man

I used to rage against
The dying of the morning
And I raised up any hell I'd see
I blurred the edges
Burnt the bridges
Broke the wheels
Of what society asked of me

But time heals wounds
And days go gently by
I don't shoot the moon
And hope that it'll die
I was young once
I hope that you grow old
We got more in common
Than you think you know

You can cry on my shoulder
And talk it out
Thoughts only get darker if you don't let them out
Come on hold my hand
We're both modern men
This is not an ordinary love story
But I love you man
It's time to be a modern man

It's time to be a modern man
You know you've got to understand
Understand
It's time to be a modern man

You can cry on my shoulder
And talk it out
Thoughts only get darker if you don't let them out
Come on hold my hand
We're both modern men
This is not an ordinary love story
But I love you man

Come on hold my hand
We're both modern men
This is not an ordinary love story
But I love you man
It's time to be a modern man
Time to be a modern man
Time to be a modern man
Time to be a modern man
Time to be a modern man
