"The Age of Detachment" lyrics

"The Age of Detachment"

I looked so naive
How could you say that to me
How could you say that to me

I rest my eyes on a flight to New Jersey
But love songs feel good when you're starting to worry
The same bar where we'd order Manhattans
The love songs don't work in the age of detachment
I imagine

The same goes for me
I could roll up my sleeves
And I've said this before
But I want you to be

The same old way home
I know what I think you'd say though
Baby you can do your worst
Maybe you can make it hurt
Last night's comments
Kinda felt a little obvious
Baby you can do your worst
Maybe you can make it hurt

I rest my eyes on a flight to New Jersey
And I like that smile when you say something dirty
The same bar that we used to get smashed in
Love songs don't work in the age of detachment
I imagine

The same goes for me
I could roll up my sleeves
And I've said this before
I'm just somewhere between

The same old way home
I know what I think you'd say though
Baby you can do your worst
Maybe you can make it hurt
Last night's comments
Kinda felt a little obvious
Baby you can do your worst
Maybe you can make it hurt

And if you feel any pain
Don't let it show on your face
And maybe those are the days
I tried to take off the armor
I wanna take off the armor
I wanna take off the armor
Lately I'm feeling hopeless and I want you to notice

Same old way home
I know what I think you'd say though
Baby that for what it's worth
Maybe this is life on earth
Last night's comments
Kinda felt a little honest
Baby that for what it's worth
Maybe this is life on earth

In the age of detachment (in the age of detachment)
In the age of detachment (in the age of detachment)
In the age of detachment (in the age of detachment)
In the age of detachment (in the age of detachment)
(Life on Earth) in the age of detachment
