Headphones

(album: The Long Fall Back To Earth - 2009)

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
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

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
You wouldn't hear it (I don't want to have to hear it)
So we go our separate ways
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
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
It's a heavy world
With our headphones on, with our headphones on
And I don't want to have to hear it
It's heavy world
With our headphones on, with our headphones on
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
