i'm the girl with the hairbrush microphone
singing in the mirror
and the music escaped from my heart to the radio, I swear
yeah, this is that one song that made me smile
'cause you played it for me over the phone
back when there was something left to sing about
yeah, we play it loud, us rocker outcasts
'cause we're looking for something to feel
without those headphones blasting medication
reality's too real
but the riffs and the bridges give us something to escape to
something to relate to
something to live for
and you're like a song to me
and the poems I scratch in my torn-up notebooks
will follow you someday, my bedroom hits
on CD's and records and they'll make you remember
remember that one song that makes me cry
'cause you sang it to me in a coffee shop
back when I was your everything
yeah, we play it loud, us rocker outcasts
'cause we're looking for something to feel
without those headphones blasting medication
reality's too real
but the riffs and the bridges give us something to escape to
something to relate to
something to live for
and you're like a song to me
and I swallow the music like a pill for my sanity
and it spills from my lips like an alternate reality
running through my head, my heart, blasting medication
a buzz to make you numb to your bitter inspiration
yeah, we play it loud, us rocker outcasts
'cause we're looking for something to do
and boredom and laziness spark bad ideas
like scribbling songs about you
swallow the music like a pill for my sanity
a buzz to numb me to you
like a buzz to numb me to you
swallow the music like a pill for my sanity
a buzz to numb me to you
