Noise Cancelling Headphones

by Sylvia Daley

Lyrics
This train's overwhelming
That car's too loud
Don't hear what you're saying
But saw you move your mouth
Wish I could explain it
I don't know how
I try find the wording
But nothing's coming out

It's like reading a sentence with no punctuation
It's like seeing the opposite of what everyone else sees
Like someone flipped everything upside down rotation
Just for me

So I put on my noise cancelling headphones
Imagine I'm somewhere else
In my own world it's all working out
Replay my favourite songs
And I don't need someone else
To tell me I'm good cause I got it all down

Noise cancelling headphones, cancelling head
Noise cancel, in my own world it's all working out
Noise cancelling headphones, cancelling head
Noise cancel, in my own world it's all working out

Forget how to function
The way you do
I practice and practice
But still don't know how to
Not think that I'm losing
Even when it's good
Meet expectations in every situation

It's like reading a sentence with no punctuation
It's like seeing the opposite of what everyone else sees
Like someone flipped everything upside down rotation
Just for me

So I put on my noise cancelling headphones
Imagine I'm somewhere else
In my own world it's all working out
Replay my favourite songs
And I don't need someone else
To tell me I'm good cause I got it all down (I don't need someone)

Noise cancelling headphones, cancelling head
Noise cancel, in my own world it's all working out
Noise cancelling headphones, cancelling head
Noise cancel, in my own world it's all working out

I don't care if I stick out
I don't care if I look like a deer in the headlights
When you ask me a question (when you ask yeah)
Know it's all gonna work out
Know that there's no wrong or right way to be human (no)

So I put on my noise cancelling headphones
Imagine I'm somewhere else
In my own world it's all working out
Replay my favourite songs
And I don't need someone else
To tell me I'm good cause I got it all down
