Modern Girl
Modern Girl's Paradox: Navigating Love in a Digital Age
Lyrics
I had a bunch of pictures
Had a collection of photographs
I put them in a frame
Arranged them in a frame
You thought you saw competition
Someone perceived these pictures as competition
For that I'm held to blame
Feeling responsible for that perception
I put the thing up on the wall next to my desk at work
Displayed the framed pictures at work
I had to stop and check up on things and all the sudden I get called a jerk
Interruption while checking on things led to being called a jerk
You know me about as well as an amnesia patient knows herself
Comparing how well you're known to an amnesia patient knowing oneself
And I think you're alright when you're somewhere else
Feeling more comfortable when the person is not present
I found you in the car lot
Encountered the person at a car lot
Big frown on blowing smoke
Person looked upset and smoking
You made me ask for like an hour
Person's behavior led to confusion for an hour
Then I thought it was a joke
Initially considered the situation a joke
You can find the answer just as quick as I can drain the ocean from a driftwood stick
Implying the impossibility of finding an answer
And I think you're alright when you don't make me sick
Prefer the person's absence when they're not causing discomfort
You're a modern girl in this modern world
Describing the person as a modern girl in the modern world
Do you think it's cool how you hate your school
Questioning if it's considered admirable to dislike one's school
You don't break rules
Stating that the person doesn't break rules
I would be a fool not to laugh
Acknowledging the foolishness in not laughing at the situation
You can love me about as well as a 400 pound hooker with a chastity belt
Comparing the difficulty of being loved to an extreme scenario
I think it's alright that you like yourself but taking your side seems bad for my health
Accepting the person's self-love but feeling it's detrimental to support them
If I had a heart like the liberty bell you'd crack it through the middle of my selfish self
If the speaker had a heart, the person's actions could break it
And I think it's alright if you just go to hell
Accepting the idea of the person going to hell, indicating frustration or anger
