Description: This song is about rose-coloured headphones.

Swear I heard this song before
Now I know I didn't get it
You only gave me one headphone
I already like it better
When I see you nodding on that beat
In the back of the darkened bus
How'd I ever miss this before us

Thought I played this one for you
Come on, I think you must have heard it
Oh no, my power's low
I think I know some of the words, it goes:
Dah dah dah, dah dah dah
Dah dah dah... well, maybe I don't
I'd sing you more but it hurts my throat

And all the people are staring
Thinking that I'm rude
But I'll keep this one blaring
Long as you've got it blaring too
If you've never tried this I recommend it
If you've never tried this I recommend it
If you've never tried this I recommend it
If you've never tried this, I recommend it

Ringing in my ears began
Oh, my body's trying to fight it
Sounds I'll never hear again
Oh my god, tonight is
The last I'll ever hear it sound
Exactly like I remember
Batteries are wearing down
Well they used to last forever

I've learned it well enough by now
Every single word and note
I can leave my headphones at home

And all the people are staring
Thinking that I'm crazy
But I'll keep this one blaring
Long as you've got it blaring maybe

And all the people are staring
Thinking that I'm rude
But I'll keep this one blaring
As long as you've got it blaring too
If you've never tried this I recommend it
If you've never tried this I recommend it
If you've never tried this I recommend it
If you've never tried this, I recommend it
It's recommended
