you, you call my name
i felt the same
walking through the everglades
and i, i hear your voice
i felt no choice
had to run so far away

i can see you
i can't calm my ways

we grew old and vain
we looked the same
circumstances crossed our way
and now you've gone and left
oh why? i'll ask
never to return again

i would miss you
try to notice that
i could miss you
try to notice that

this is the end of an era
welcome to the modern age
this is the end of our days
welcome to the modern age

and though we talked about it
dreamed how it could be in the modern age
we're not the way we planned to be
are we? are we?

i would miss you
try to notice that
i could miss you
try to notice that

this is the end of an era
welcome to the modern age
this is the end of our days
welcome to the modern age

you know we talked about it
dreamed how it could be in the modern age
we're not the way we planned to be
are we? are we?
