Lyrics

Headphones

[Verse 1] Genius to fall asleep to your tape last night So warm Sounds go through the muscles These abstract, wordless movements Move, move, move, move, move They start off cells that haven't been touched before These cells are virgins Waking up slowly (Waking up) Waking up slowly (Wake up) [Chorus] My headphones They saved my life Your tape It lulled me to sleep, to sleep, to sleep [Post-Chorus] Nothing will be the same I'm asleep I'm fast asleep [Verse 2] I like this resonance It elevates me I don't recognise myself This is very interesting [Chorus] My headphones They saved my life Your tape Lulled me to sleep, to sleep, to sleep [Post-Chorus] I'm fast asleep now You're still with me I'm fast asleep I'm asleep [Chorus] My headphones They saved, saved my life Your tape It lulled me to sleep, to sleep, to sleep
