Pay No Mind Songtext
von Madeon feat. Passion Pit

She was dancing, she was smiling, roses blooming on her cheeks
In a quiet kind of litany, she accepted some defeat
And then she twirled into the arms of disgrace and then repelled
Now she′s fallen to her knees, but you couldn't ever tell

And then, she asks me how we got here
I told her, "I don′t know"
And if you keep on asking, I'll just keep saying so
This isn't what I wanted, it isn′t what you need
Oh, let them keep on talking, just calm yourself and breathe

Don′t you pay them any mind
Don't you pay them any mind
You know this happens every time
Now, don′t you pay them any mind

Where the burdens of her mother weigh like sandbags on the eyes
As she closes just to open as the sirens whirling by
And now she's off to tell a secret to a friend somewhere in town
And her friend just takes a moment, and asks why I′m not around


Darling, this is something I should've told you long ago
I just want you to feel safe, I just wanna make you glow
Oh, how you glowed when we were young, and with nothing on our minds
But each other, one another and we had nothing then but time

And then, she asks me how we got here
I told her, "I don′t know"
And if you keep on asking, I'll just keep saying so
This isn't what I wanted, it isn′t what you need
Oh, let them keep on talking, just calm yourself and breathe

Don′t you pay them any mind
Don't you pay them any mind
You know this happens every time
Now, don′t you pay them any mind

Oh, why do we have to go through this every time?
Some days you hear it (don't listen, I′ll carry you)
Some days you don't (don′t listen, oh no)
Sometimes you feel it (it's not worth it, help me)
Sometimes you won't, just calm yourself and breathe

Don′t you pay them any mind
Don′t you pay them any mind
You know this happens every time
Now, don't you pay them any mind


Don′t you pay them any mind
Don't you pay them any mind
You know this happens every time
Now, don′t you pay them any mind
