Headphones (feat. LOLO) - Matt Nathanson

I showed you a song I wrote about you we shared the headphones I didn't tell you the headphone I was using didn't work though You started crying and I didn't know what part you were at I'd really like to know what part you were at I'll make way more parts like that I'll make a whole song parts like that I'll make our life feel like that I remember the first song we ever played on headphones together Bohemian Rhapsody on that old couch In the basement I could still smell the leather I wish I could have that moment forever I really do You like it pop, 70's rock You love it reggaeton, beat with the drop I like it indie I like it sweet I like a rapper who's smooth on a beat Tell me when you're playing songs that are sad Tell me right now that you're thinking of me We should just get in my bed for the night Tell me right now that you're not gonna leave I showed you a song I wrote about you we shared the headphones I didn't tell you the headphone I was using didn't work though You started crying and I didn't know what part you were at I'd really like to know what part you were at I'll make way more parts like that Fuck it all when you call Call my work and say I broke my jaw Hit my head I'm taking Tylenol Super sick I'm eating all the Halls Super quick we're taking off our clothes Favourite songs sharing all of those You picked Jolene that's the one you showed Dang that song is really fricking dope Have you ever played movie songs Sitting with to who you belong Feeling like wow we're living it A love story they would film and shit Everything you say a lyric boo Entrusted every little fear to you Snuck a peek when we were kissing then Just to see your face when I'm near to you But I'm not done, no I'm never done Play another song and then another one Pick a playlist let an album run Man I made a playlist full of Malcolm's drums If your life had its own charts Baby play me all the number ones I was tryna get your number once I was tryna be your summer love Limewire when you want a song, member those days, days dead and gone Downloads taking way too long With the graphic names we weren't clicking on Dad calling like what the fuck why can't I go and turn the PC on? Well fuck guess I'll run away Probably need a sweater, yeah a fleecy one You make me feel like when I would burn a CD Full of songs about my crush And I'd go in my room and scream em With the big ass walk man And every time I jumped it would skip But it was worth it And you're worth it Yeah Yeah yeah yeah

I don't wanna see the wires in the circus anymore I wanna dream and make believe people can fly I don't need to be reminded what it takes to kill the fun I got a head full of sharp knives Yeah, it's easy to get colder And it's easy to forget So meet me where the lights dim We can wake up every morning We can set ourselves on fire And we can do it all again The world don't speak for us They lack the confidence Yeah, we're only hearts and bones and blood Oh, but we are giants Giants The walls are closing in We climb and they descend With nothing but the clouds against our skin Oh, we are giants Giants I want to roll around the darkness 'til the darkness goes away 'Til the television finally tells the truth You know, everybody's scared of things they don't understand And all of the living that they don't do Yeah, it's easy to get colder And it's easy to forget So meet me where the lights dim We can wake up every morning We can set ourselves on fire And we can do it all again The world don't speak for us They lack the confidence Yeah, we're only hearts and bones and blood Oh, but we are giants Giants The walls are closing in We climb and they descend With nothing but the clouds against our skin Oh, we are giants Giants I'm done trying to fit in and be half forgiven For things that I never did We're more than what scares us, we're final and fearless We'll dance where the ice gets thin Gets thin The world don't speak for us They lack the confidence Yeah, we're only hearts and bones and blood Oh, but we are giants Giants The walls are closing in We climb and they descend With nothing but the clouds against our skin Oh, we are giants Giants

I want a real love to let me in I wanna zero out and be born again No more false starts and no dead end 'Cause I'm in no shape to do what's right And I see up as down and black as white It makes me dizzy, I come apart All this love, love, love in the dark Mercy, mercy, both hands I need less drowning and more land Mercy, mercy, understand (Less drowning, more land, less drowning) Lit a fire in the crowd just to watch you move And tie your hands and demand a salute Oh, this garden's full of snakes and fruit Oh, oh no, no, no, no Hear the click, click, click of the camera flash And in the definite kicking of the fame bomb blast But they don't call and they don't last And you're gone, outshined Mercy, mercy, both hands I need less drowning and more land Mercy, mercy, understand (Less drowning, more land, less drowning) So come on, kill the lights, and leave it all behind I'm right by your, I'm right by your side Ignore the tick of time, put your hand in mine Watch it all, watch it all ignite Mercy, mercy, both hands I need less drowning and more land Mercy, mercy, understand Less drowning, more land Mercy, mercy, I'm in your hands I look into your eyes and I see what I can Mercy, mercy, understand Less drowning, more land Less drowning, more land

Will you lead me? And fit around my tongue? It's so easy, to forget that I'm lost Spent all of my life Waiting for answers To lift me, to numb me, to define it all Sunshine, I'm beginning to like this 'Cause all I want to be is the minute that you hold me in When you pretend that I'm all that you waited for Time slips to nothing and I'm better than I've ever been I'm suspended With your breathing, filling up my lungs I can almost believe that I'm almost enough Spent all of my life emptied of anthems Bracing for something that never did come Sunshine, I'm beginning to like this Sunshine, I'm beginning to like it Cause all I want to be is the minute that you hold me in When you pretend that I'm all that you waited for Time slips to nothing and I'm better than I've ever been Yeah, I'm suspended It's not enough to stay surrounded It's not enough to stay awake, torn, braced, cornered And not feel alive Sunshine, I'm beginning to like this Sunshine, I'm beginning to like it Cause all I want to be is the minute that you hold me in When you pretend that I'm all that you waited for Time slips to nothing and I'm better than I've ever been Yeah, I'm suspended Yeah, I'm suspended I'm suspended
