Verse 1

You walk in, sunlight in your hair,

Talking fast like the world’s unfair.

I smile soft, I don’t need to prove —

Found my rhythm, I found my groove.

Built my calm from a storm or two,

Learned my grace when I stumbled through.

You mean well, I can understand,

But love’s not power — it’s open hands.

Pre-Chorus

I’ve seen hearts like yours before,

Trying to shine, but wanting more.

You don’t need to play that game —

I see you, and I’ll say your name.

Chorus

Modern man, I don’t need saving,

I’ve got my own pulse, my own craving.

If you stay, then stay as you are —

We can both be whole, apart and stars

Verse 2

You dream big, I can see your fight,

But slow it down, let the air feel right.

I’m not your muse or your design,

I’m my own sound, my own line.

Pre-Chorus

You don’t have to lead or win,

Let’s just start where truth begins.

We’re both trying, best we can —

That’s enough, modern man.

Chorus

Modern man, I don’t need saving,

I’ve got my own pulse, my own craving.

If you stay, then stay as you are —

We can both be whole, apart and stars

We’ve both walked roads we couldn’t see,

Learned our truths in our own degrees.

No need for walls, no need for blame,

We’re just two hearts that call each other’s name.

Bridge

I move through light, through quiet times,

No one here needs to take the blame.

Hold me close without demand —

That’s the art of a modern man.

Outro

If you listen, you'll understand......

Modern man, I hope you understand —

We both belong to our own plans.
