Headphones On

Miranda Cosgrove

Home with my headphones on
And with the stuff on the floor
And the lock on my door

10:28 on the digital clock
I know it's late but I just can't stop
All this jumpin' around, all this wastin' time
It's getting to be a habit of mine

You would think I didn't wanna get paid
I'm not the type to procrastinate
But a girl can't always be well behaved

I wanna stay home with my headphones on
With the stuff on the floor and the lock on my door
I lost my keys in the mess I made
So I can't go anywhere anyway
So rock on with the headphones on

Got a lot of nothin' to do
I'm not getting it done and I'm lovin' it too
Twenty four hours since I've been outside
But it feels okay, it feels alright

I could go to school another day
Don't understand why I dance all day
You know what they say about
All work and no play

I wanna stay home with my headphones on
With the stuff on the floor and the lock on my door
I lost my keys in the mess I made
So I can't go anywhere anyway
So rock on with the headphones on
With the headphones on

It's like fireworks in my head
Above the clouds, I may never get to bed
Can't turn back now, don't wanna come down

You would think I didn't wanna get paid
I'm not the type to procrastinate
But a girl can't always be well behaved

I wanna stay home with my headphones on
With the stuff on the floor and the lock on my door
I lost my keys in the mess I made
So I can't go anywhere anyway

I wanna stay home with my headphones on
With the stuff on the floor and the lock on my door
I lost my keys in the mess I made
So I can't go anywhere anyway

Rock on with the headphones on
With the headphones on
With the headphones on

    I haven't heard this song but I think it's supposed to be 'It's getting to be a habit of mine' I'm not sure but it just seems to make more sense. I hope I can help. :)

    My Interpretation

    This song is totally about masturbating. Seriously, read through it with that in mind. You'll see what I mean.

    wwegurl93, you're right. It's just a slight typo. There's a few, and I just reported them. No worries. :)

    Of the four songs on the album, this one is my least favorite. To me, it seems like a brat-song. She doesn't want to do anything, blah, blah, so she stays home and listens to music. And if it's 10:28, why even bother going to school? You already missed at least two classes.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
