Headphones

I don’t have to hear it
If I don’t want to
I can drown this out
Pull the curtains down on you
It’s a heavy world
It’s too much for me to care
If I close my eyes
It’s not there
With my headphones on (x4)
We watch television
But the sound is something else
Just a song played against the drama
So the hurt is never felt
I take in the war fires
And I’m chilled by the current events
It’s so hopeless
But there’s a pop song in my head…
-phones on
With my headphones on (x7)
At the tube stop
You sit down across from me
(I can see you looking back at me)
I think I know you
By the sad eyes that I see
And I wanna tell you
(It's a heavy world)
Everything will be OK
But you wouldn’t hear it
(I don’t want to have to hear it)
So we go our separate ways
With our headphones on (x16)
I don’t wanna be the one who
Tries to figure it out
I don’t need another reason
I should care about you
You don’t wanna know my story
You don’t wanna own my pain
We’re living in a heavy, heavy world
And there’s a pop song in my head
And there’s a pop song in my head
Yeah it’s a heavy world
Oh no, I don’t wanna have to hear it
Heavy world
No, I don’t wanna have to hear it (x3)
