End of an era

you, you call my name
i felt the same
walking through the everglades

and i, i hear your voice
i felt no choice
had to run so far away

i can see you
i can't calm my ways

this is the end of an era
(welcome to the modern age)
this is the end of our days
(welcome to the modern age)

we grew old and vain
we looked the same
circumstances crossed our ways

and now you've gone and left
oh why? i'll ask
never to return again

i would miss you
try to notice that
i would miss you
try to notice that

and though we talked about it
dreamed how it could be
(in the modern age)
we're not the way we planned to be
are we? are we?
