The Modern Age

Lyrics

Up on a hill is where we begin
 This little story a long time ago
 ♪
 Start to pretend, stop pretending
 It seems this game is simply never ending
 ♪
 Oh, in the sun, sun, having fun
 It's in my blood, I just can't help it
 Don't want you here right now, let me go
 Oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go
 Leaving just in time
 Staying for a while
 Rolling in the ocean
 Trying to catch her eye
 Work hard and say it's easy
 Do it just to please me
 Tomorrow will be different
 So I pretend I'm leavin'
 ♪
 Our fears are different now
 We train an AVA
 I wish you hadn't stayed
 My vision's clearer now but I'm unafraid
 ♪
 Flying overseas
 No time to feel the breeze
 I took too many varieties
 ♪
 Oh, in the sunshine having fun
 It's in my blood, I just can't help it
 Don't want you here right now. let me go, woo
 Darlin', let me g-g-g-g-g-g-go
 Leaving just in time
 Staying for a while
 Rollin' in the ocean
 Tryin' to catch her eye
 Work hard and say it's easy
 Do it just to please me
 Tomorrow will be different
 So this is why I'm leavin'
 
 Up on a hill is where we begin
 This little story a long time ago
 ♪
 Start to pretend, stop pretending
 It seems this game is simply never ending
 ♪
 Oh, in the sun, sun, having fun
 It's in my blood, I just can't help it
 Don't want you here right now, let me go
 Oh, let me g-g-g-g-g-g-g-go
 Leaving just in time
 Staying for a while
 Rolling in the ocean
 Trying to catch her eye
 Work hard and say it's easy
