Headphones On Songtext
von Melissa Ferrick

When it comes right down to it
I got nothing to report
And nothing you haven′t been through yourself
It's just life, life hurts
And you can′t fix me
I'm the one, I'm the one who′s gotta live with me

So I′m disappearing into syncopated beats
And my troubles dissipate and I start to feel relief
So give me some sunglasses, give me sand below my feet
Give me tears streaming down my face
Give me sound rattling my teeth
Give me sound to erase my defeat

I put my headphones on and I feel my feet
I make my life a movie, I am able to escape
This life I'm tryna live
Life needs love to fall in
Yeah, life needs love to fall in


′Cause I don't wanna write the truth
′Cause that would make it real
And I know the saying, "Truth sets you free"
But right now all my truth is fear
And I like to use fear like a weapon
But my enemy is looking at me in the mirror

I put my headphones on and I feel my feet
I make my life a movie, I am able to escape
This life I'm tryna live
Life needs love to fall in, yeah

And I got a gun pointing at my head
And I′m tryna duck out of the way
But I just know that the shrapnel's gonna get me
And I will survive to say
That the truth has almost killed me
Yeah, baby, and you, you still can't fix me
Yeah (whoa), eh-eh

I put my headphones on and I feel my feet
I make my life a movie, I am able to escape
This life that I try to live
Well, life needs love to fall in, yeah

Life needs love
Yeah, to fall in
Fall in, fall in
