Modern loneliness
We’re never alone but always depressed, yeah
Love my friends to death but I never call and I never text
La di da di da, yeah
You get what you give and you give what you get, so
Modern loneliness
We love to get high but we don’t know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
We don’t know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down

If I could break my DNA to pieces, rid of all my demons
If I could cleanse my soul
Then I could fill the world with all my problems, but shit that wouldn’t solve them
So I’m left here alone
And I’ve been trying to find a reason to get up
Been trying to find a reason for this stuff
In my bedroom and my closet, the baggage in my heart is still so dark

Modern loneliness
We’re never alone but always depressed, yeah
Love my friends to death but I never call and I never text
La di da di da, yeah
You get what you give and you give what you get, so
Modern loneliness
We love to get high but we don’t know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
We don’t know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down
We don’t know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down

We love to get high but we don’t know how to come down
We don’t know how to come down
I’m dreaming, I’m dreaming
(Modern loneliness we're never alone, we're never alone, we're never alone, we're never alone, we're never alone, we're never alone, we're never alone)
La di da di da, yeah
You get what you give and you get what you give and you give what you get, so (you get so, you get so, you get so, you get so, you get so, you get so)
We don’t know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down
We don’t know how to come down, down, down, down, down, down

With an affection for electronic and R&B sounds, infused with his soulful bedroom vocals and airy beats, Ari Staprans Leff, known professionally as Lauv, has burst onto the music scene with his intimate take on romantic pop.

Lauv’s musical beginnings started in childhood, learning strings as well as playing piano, but neither captivated his interest. However, his connection with music grew when he picked up a guitar at the age of 11. From there, Lauv became obsessed with expressing himself musically, which channeled into an interest in songwriting.

Eventually he made his way to New York University (NYU) in 2012, and entered the prestigious Music Technology Program there, having expanded his music interests into jazz and electronic music production in high school to add to his diversified portfolio.
