Headphones

(album: What If Nothing - 2017)

I can take a beating like a good pair of headphones
I can take a hit like Karate Kid
You know you could learn a lot from a good pair of headphones
Like how to take a beating
I know I did

Oh, it's just another chain reaction
When you make the big mistake
Suffer all the satisfaction
Of feeling this way

A pretty picture of a better man taking you out
Holding your hand, at your favorite band
He says, "You're so fucking cute when you're rocking it out"
And you laugh till' you're out, out of breath, CPR, mouth to mouth

Oh, it's just another chain reaction
When you make the big mistake
Suffer all the satisfaction
Of learning something

(I'm so glad we can still be friends)

I can take a beating like a good pair of headphones
And I can stand the test of time like Harrison Ford
So go ahead, rough me up like a good pair of headphones
I wanna open my heart, but you won't open the door

Why, why
Why I gotta feel this way?

It's just another chain reaction
When you make the big mistake
Suffer all the satisfaction
Of learning something
