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
With my headphones on
With my headphones on
With my headphones on

We watch television but the sound is something else
Just a song played against the drama, so the hurt is never felt

Headphones on
In my headphones on
With my headphones on
With my headphones on

With my headphones on
With my headphones on
With my headphones on
With my headphones on

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

I want to tell you
(It's a heavy world)
Everything will be okay

With our headphones on

With our headphones on, with our headphones on
(I don't wanna be the one who tries to figure it out)
With our headphones on, with our headphones on
(I don't need another reason I should care about you)

With our headphones on, with our headphones on
(You don't want to know my story, you don't want to own my pain)
With our headphones on, with our headphones on
(Living in a heavy, heavy world and there's a pop song in my head)
With our headphones on

With our headphones on, with our headphones on
(I don't want to have to hear it and there's a pop song in my head)
With our headphones on, with our headphones on
(I don't want to have to hear it [Incomprehensible])
With our headphones on, with our headphones on
(I don't want to have to hear it [Incomprehensible])
With our headphones on, with our headphones on

Oh, I don't want to have to hear it
I don't want to have to hear it
(I don't want to have to hear it)
I don't want to have to hear it
