Jack Ferry - Modern Day Telephony Lyrics

What a curious age we live in
How strange it is to be given
A little box of metal
That runs the world
And what a wonderful world it is
So many places at my fingertips
I see the sun and rain
So many people I could meet
This thing just sweeps me off my feet
Cause I found you
With Modern Day Telephony
It's not a case of probably
More that it's statistically
Impossible
That we could have met
Who knew we could talk like this
Who knew that I would get obsessed
Thanks to algorithms and your wit
So many people I could meet
This thing just sweeps me off my feet
Cause I found you
With Modern Day Telephony
Let's stay up for five hours and speak
Let's play pretend that we should meet
Let's like all of the same things
Let's get excited when the phone rings
It was nice talking to you
It was nice just talking
I don't do a lot
Of that these days
Never mind that we didn't find the time
Never mind that I should have crossed the line
You're always
A nervous phone call away
So many people I could meet
This thing just sweeps me off my feet
Cause I found you
With Modern Day Telephony
So many people all alone
In virtual pairs, beaming at their phones
Thank god for you and me
And Modern Day Telephony
