Jars Of Clay - Headphones lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I don't have to hear it, if I don't want to<br>

I can drown this out, pull the curtains down on you<br>

It's a heavy world, it's too much for me to care<br>

If I close my eyes, it's not there<br>

<br>

With my headphones on, with my headphones on<br>

With my headphones on, with my headphones on<br>

<br>

We watch television...but the sound is something else<br>

Just a song played against the drama, so the hurt is never felt<br>

I take in the war-fires, and I'm chilled by the current events<br>

It's so hopeless, but there's a pop song in my<br>

<br>

Headphones on, in my headphones on<br>

With my headphones on, with my headphones on<br>

<br>

At the Tube Stop, you sit down across from me<br>

(I can see you looking back at me)<br>

I think I know you<br>

By the sad eyes that I see<br>

I want to tell you (It's a heavy world)<br>

Everything will be okay<br>

You wouldn't hear it (I don't want to have to hear it)<br>

So we go our separate ways...<br>

<br>

With our headphones on, with our headphones on<br>

With our headphones on, with our headphones on<br>

I don't wanna be the one who tries to figure it out<br>

I don't need another reason I should care about you<br>

You don't want to know my story<br>

You don't want to own my pain<br>

Living in a heavy, heavy world<br>

And there's a pop song in my head<br>

I don't want to have to hear it<br>

<BR><BR>

<BR>
