lyrics

Lacin’ up my combat boots cuz you never know what life will bring
Hop a fourteen hour flight to a third world country that I won’t name
We could live out quiet lives on a mountain top in the north of spain
We could die without wifi
No one would even know our names

Chorus:
Here in these modern times it’s magical and oh so sad
I wanna get lost in a book but my phone is all I seem to have
Right at my fingertips the endless options drive you mad
Here in these modern times it’s magical and sad

Lookin’ for his quiet mind
He came alive through sticks and stone
Time on the river seemed to fill his soul like none before
Despite the calm release he seemed to long for somethin’ more
You can seek out solitude but sorrow creeps in through the floor

Chorus:
Here in these modern times it’s magical and oh so sad
I wanna get lost in a book but my phone is all i seem to have
Right at my fingertips the endless options drive you mad
Here in these modern times it’s magical and sad

Here in these modern times it’s magical and so alone
I wanna get lost in a book but my brain got locked inside my phone
Right at my fingertips the endless options drive you mad
Here in these modern times
It’s magical and sad
