Tell you a secret
I never told no one before
Guess it won't be a secret anymore
I wear my headphones
When I'm walking down the street
But they aren't plugged into anything
I wear my headphones
when I'm walking down the street
But they aren't plugged into anything
The people don't know
I'm only singing to myself
Instead of singing along to someone else
Still I bob my head up and down
But the only beat,
the only sound is my heart
Pound, pound, my father taught me
Taught me how to listen hard
To all the quiet mystery
Said there is only one true voice
Other voices will get in
But don't print their symbols
On your skin
Go where you hear phones,
when you're walking
down the street
But don't plug them into anything
that people won't know
You're only singing to yourself,
still you're singing along to someone else
Still you bob your head up and down
But the only beat,
the only sound is your heart
Pound, pound
Listen for the smallest thing
Tell it it's a symphony
Listen for the smallest thing
It tells you you're an animal
Listen for the smallest thing
Crown that key, the rhythm you king
Move your feet to the smallest thing
The smallest thing
The smallest is everything
Everything in my head fall apart
I hear my ears fall apart
I stare at the sky
Everything in my head fall apart
I hear my ears fall apart
I got all my head up and down
But the only beat, the only sound is
Pa pa pa, pa pa pa
Pa pa pa, pa pa pa
Pa pa pa
The only beat, the only sound is my heart
My father gave me headphones
My father gave me a stethoscope
My father gave me headphones
My father gave me a stethoscope
When I'm walking down the street
Unplugged into everything
