Headphones

Solo movie night

End of credits, frosty air, Upper West Side

Laugh and Christmas lights

I'm watching family dinner from the outside

I took a long way home for no good reason

An empty college room this holiday season

Now I'm on my own, I'm talking to my own reflection

Dreamed about New York

But now I dream of making it back home

A stranger, outsider

The sound of distant laughter

It's cold outside

But in my headphones I'm alright

In my headphones I'm alright

In my headphones

In my headphones I'm alright

Run at 5 a.m

I am I wearing my old clothes

But they don fit the same

I call and fake a smile

I promise I'm just tired, studied for a while

I used to hate the nicknames you gave me back then

Now I would give it all to be your kid again

Now I'm on my own

I'm talking to my own reflection

I dreamed about New York

But now I dream of making it back home

A stranger, outsider

The sound of distant laughter

It's cold outside

But in my headphones I'm alright

In my headphones I'm alright

In my headphones

In my headphones I'm alright

In my headphones I'm alright
