Neon Trees - Love In The 21st Century Lyrics






Catch some breath.

I don't believe in a life without consequence.
Do you believe when I say that I’m not impressed?
You say, "I never, ever, ever wanna talk again."
I don’t believe that you mean a single word you said.

Lines in the sand where we disagree
I think I wanna run away from you, you’re killing me.
But I know I wanna see you in a day or two.
I don’t believe that a single word you say is true.

I guess it’s love
In the 21st century
Oh, oh it’s tough
Broken heart technology
Your kisses taste so sweet
But then you click "Delete"
Love in the 21st century
I'm in the 21st century

I don’t believe making out is a dead romance.
I miss the days being kids simply holding hands
I’m sick of wondering if you would ever call me back
I check my 4 different accounts just to end up mad.

Wish I could dissect your brain apart
It takes a vivisection just to understand your heart
If we could just own up, get wound up, messed up

I guess it’s love
In the 21st century
Oh, oh it’s tough
Broken heart technology
Your kisses taste so sweet
But then you click "Delete"
Love in the 21st century
I’m in the 21st century

Oh, it gets so critical
We become caught up in the trivial
My dear, we’re both a bit too cynical
Come close, I’ll give you something spiritual

Stand up and deliver me
We’re in love in the 21st century

I guess it’s love
In the 21st century
Oh, oh it’s tough
Broken heart technology
Your kisses taste so sweet
But then you click "Delete"
Love in the 21st century
I’m in the 21st century

I’m in the 21st century
I’m in the 21st century

Your kisses taste so sweet
But then you click "Delete"
Love in the 21st century
I’m in the 21st century

Neon Trees Love In The 21st Century Comments
  1. e.... f....

    I love listening to this performance of the song more than the original!!!! I wanna see them perform live so bad!!! :')

  2. m.... m....

    Is it "quick to leave" or "click delete" thx

    m.... m....

    it sounds like both doesn't it lol but i think it's click delete

  3. H.... A....

    His voice tho✨🔥

    H.... A....

    Yes i know right

  4. R.... T....

    I love this

  5. B.... P....

    Branden's bass is the sexiest thing in existence.

  6. 3.... ....

    I love how they have a girl drummer, I've never seen one

    3.... ....

    Shelia E.

    3.... ....

    mindless self indulgence (they have a female drummer and female bassit, too!)

    3.... ....

    Panic! At McDonalds I automatically think of Scott pilgrim

    3.... ....

    Hey Violet

    3.... ....

    379 the White Stripes

  7. M.... J....

    the pre-set clap drum track tho...
    i feel like there's no need for it
    she's a great drummer...she dont need that!

  8. D.... K....

    He needs to work out, those skinny ass arms.. Don't where clothing without sleeves with those things, ew.

    D.... K....

    Why do you feel the need to say something like that?

    D.... K....

    +Ivy Keely why even bring it up then dude

    D.... K....

    +Deadly Strikez That's some good body shaming you have got going on there. If someone said "That girl is chubby, she needs to lose weight before wearing shorts and showing off her legs. Ew" They would get slaughtered for it.

    Maybe he likes looking that way and he should be able to show off his body without having to feel self conscious because he doesn't fit in with a inconsequential person's beauty standards and stupid ideologies.

    D.... K....

    uhm you need to not. I'm sorry, he's perfect the way he is. BACK THE FUCK OFF.

    D.... K....

    It's nothing to do with him being gay. Not all gay people are skinny lol

  9. W.... T....

    amazing performance

  10. j.... g....

    Me les quito el sombrero.

  11. c.... ....

    That purple bass is freakin' epic!

  12. D.... C....

    I caught this on tv last night. I have always liked neon trees but now I have a lot more respect for them as a band. They aren't afraid to be theirselves. Keep it up guys.

  13. l.... d....

    Amazing 🙌

  14. d.... ....

    Perfect LIVE!

  15. J.... T....

    Simply the best pop rock band around these days.

  16. p.... ....

    Just realized how similar the verse is to tonight you're perfect- new politics

  17. G.... G....

    PS OTHER DARKNESS SLUT elaine bradley

  18. J.... H....

    It shows that the Trees are working on keeping their stage presence tight and this is miles ahead of stuff from the summer tour, where the newness of the material was evident in the timidity of the performances (which were good nevertheless).  This is at least on the level of their stage act of 2013 (which was Peter Gabriel caliber and up).

    Looking forward to seeing them in 2015 if this is an indication of their live act for the year to come.

  19. B.... F....

    This is a comment so that I can prove I was here before it reached the top charts. It currently has 4361 views.

  20. S.... A....

    Love in the 21st Century is one of my all time favorites on the Pop Psychology album by Neon Trees.  I just saw this performance online and, WOW, Neon Trees is the best band on this planet and my favorite to rock out to.  Plus, Tyler Glenn is gorgeous....but you already knew that.

  21. L.... s....

    I love guys are the best band!!! I love this song!!!

  22. J.... S....

    I always get super excited when a new song comes out from you guys. Its my party music. TYLER, bring back the Mohawk! does this mean there's a new album coming soon...? -hopeful eyes-

  23. r.... ....

    Tyler, you never liked me back on Tinder :/   Haha. But, it's all good. I still like you and your music and Neon Trees -- keep on rockin.  :-)

  24. e.... ....

    You are such babes and i cannot even handle it anymore I love you sweeties

  25. T.... i....

    Wtf did you do to your thunderbird bass brandon?

    T.... i....

    That's not a Thunderbird, trust me, I thought it was at first too but its not

    T.... i....

    @shadowisahero It's a custom design by Mike Lull. He has 5 or 6 in different finishes (maybe more!) and it's a reverse thunderbird with a 15% bigger body. No knowing what pickups are in it, probably lollar or fralin.

    T.... i....

    its pretty sick either way

  26. D.... G....

    Looking forward to seeing the "Text Me In The Morning" video shot at the 9:30 Club last year.  LOVE NEON TREES.  Most fun you will ever have at a concert...ever.   

    D.... G....

    Saw them live last summer and they were so incredible. Every single song sounded so perfect and it really made me appreciate the new album more. I hope I get to see them again!
