Matt Nathanson – Headphones Lyrics

Oh, oh (headphones on on)
Cinderella’s gone to New York City¹
Wants to shave her hair and disappear²
18 years of never feeling pretty³
Says she’s finally thinking clear
Ain’t too proud to swim or drown now baby
Ain’t too proud to sink or see it through⁴

She said
Everybody wants to be with me⁵
I’ve got all I need (all I need)
I feel invincible with my headphones on⁶
Everybody pose for magazines (oh)⁷
All just noise to me (noise to me)⁸
I feel invincible with my headphones on⁹
Oh (my headphones, headphones)
Oh (my headphones on)

If anybody comes around to find me
If anybody ask for me she said
Tell ’em all I’m in the deep end singing¹⁰
If this music’s in my head
Ain’t too proud to swim or drown now baby (ain’t too proud)
Ain’t too proud to sink or see it through¹¹

She said
Everybody wants to be with me
I’ve got all I need, (all I need)
I feel invincible with my headphones on
Everybody pose for magazines (oh)
It’s all just noise to me (noise to me)
I feel invincible with my headphones on
Oh (my headphones, headphones)
With my headphones on
I feel invincible
With my headphones on

People talking in their sleep
Can’t see the forest for the trees¹²
Clocks starts ticking lottery oh oh oh
A new world same old crowd
Good things wish but bad things shout
I don’t hear ’em now (oh)¹³

She said
Everybody wants to be with me (be with me)
I’ve got all I need (all I need)
I feel invincible with my headphones on
Everybody pose for magazines (oh)
It’s all just noise to me (noise to me)
I feel invincible with my headphones on
Oh (my headphones, headphones)
With my headphones on
I feel invincible
With my headphones on
Oh (my headphones, headphones on)
My headphone on
I feel invincible with my headphones¹⁴
