I swiped right, my hopes sky high
But all I got was a lukewarm "hi"
You're fishing in a sea so wide
And I'm just one more broken tide
You sashay through this modern dance
While I still cherish sweet romance
A thousand likes but none are true
I guess I'll never earn a view
Swipe left on me, I'm old news
In this modern love, I always lose
Just a relic of the time gone by
Dreaming under a moonlit sky
I've got charming words that rhyme
But they don't fit this fast-forward time
Profiles flash, love fades so quick
In a sea of faces, I'm just one tick
You're tethered to your glowing screen
While I dream in soft sepia scenes
I'll never catch your fleeting eye
In this age where real love goes to die
I'll play my tune alone tonight
In a smoky, loony candlelight
No digital world can pass me by
As I croon under a velvet sky
I'll croon under a velvet sky
