What did you say?
I can't hear anything with these headphones on
I like to play my music just as loud as it goes
It empties my mind
It helps me in my time
It distracts me from the sound in my heart

(chorus)

Can you make that sound go away?
It keeps knock knock knocking all day
I think there's somebody there
Standing at the door

What did you say?
I just can't concentrate with the TV on
I like to sit real close to the screen if you know what I mean
Those people are there
They seem they're friends to me
They distract me from the sound in my heart

(chorus)

I'm not sure what they want but they want something
Well whatever it is I don't even want to know

What did you say?
I don't know what you're trying to tell me
But I can't stop to listen now 'cause I've got to go
I'm meeting some people
We're going out tonight
To distract ourselves from the sound in our hearts

(chorus twice)
