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

Heaphones 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 think I know you
By the sad eyes that I see
I want to tell you
Everything will be okay
You wouldn't hear it
So we go our separate ways

With our headphones on
I don't wanna be the one who tries to figure it out
(With our headphones on)
I don't need another reason I should care about you
(With our headphones on)
You don't want to know my story
(With our headphones on)
You don't want to own my fate
(With our headphones on)
Living in a heavy, heavy world
(With our headphones on)
And there's a pop song in my head
Yeah, there's a pop song in my head
And it's a heavy world
I don't want to have to hear it
Heavy world
No, I don't want to have to hear it...
