She Got Them Headphones On

She got them head phones on
And she’s all zoned out
You don’t know what’s going on
You don’t know what she’s about.

She just letting the music fly
Sprinkle peace into her ears
As her mind glides through the sky
She feels them fears disappear.

She got them head phones on
And she’s all zoned out
You don’t know what’s going on
You don’t know what she’s about.

She’s got so much on her plate
So much on her shoulders
Just needs a little break from weight
Feels like she been lifting then splitting boulders.

She got them head phones on
And she’s all zoned out
You don’t know what it’s like at her home
You don’t know what it’s like at her house.

She’s so much weighing on her soul
So much weighing on her mind
Feels she does it all alone
But she smiling like she’s fine.

She got them head phones on
And she’s all zoned out
You don’t know what’s going on
You don’t know what she’s about.

She go walking out at night
Lets her eyes latch on one star
Lets her mind take flight
And travel just as far.

She got them head phones on
And she’s all zoned out
You don’t know what’s going on
You don’t know what she’s about.

She goes walking in the darkness
In the hopes of finding light
Put some strength where her heart is
When she tires of the fight.

She got them headphones on
And she’s all zoned out
We don’t know her problems at home
We don’t know what goes on at her house.

She go walking out at night
To shake it all off
Never know what’s going on in another’s life
Too rarely foresee the cost.

She got them head phones on
And she’s all zoned out
You don’t know what’s going on
You don’t know what she’s about.

She’s got them head phones on
And she’s all zoned out
Hard to know if she just didn’t see the truck
Or whether she just wanted out.

She used to have her headphones on
And she get all zoned out
Hard to know what’s going on
In anyone else’s house.
