[Intro]
I wanna live inside your headphones, baby
I wanna live inside a world wherever you are
I wanna live inside your headphones, baby
Headphones baby, headphones baby, headphones baby
[Verse 1]
We're melancholic and hyperbolic
Assimilated, but not related
The morning hit me like a violent crime would
I cried for help and all my time just stood there
I want attention on one dimension
Just do the moonwalk right out of small talk
I can't apologize with no thеsaurus
Why go for beers when those peoplе bore us?
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna live inside your headphones, baby
I wanna live inside a world wherever you are
I wanna live inside your headphones, baby
Headphones baby, headphones baby
(I wanna live inside your head, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Headphones baby, headphones baby
[Chorus]
And I wanna die together like we're movie stars
Strung out on the bed over the handlebars
And they'll bury us in leather at Hollywood Forever
Don't you wanna die together? Don't you wanna die together?
[Verse 2]
We're fatalistic and so artistic
Americana, loved by Nirvana
I fought for glory, but my friends restrained me
It's not my fault, it's what my parents made me
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna live inside your headphones, baby
I wanna live inside a world wherever you are
I wanna live inside your, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
And I wanna die together like we're movie stars
Strung out on the bed over the handlebars
And they'll bury us in leather at Hollywood Forever
Don't you wanna die together? Don't you wanna die together?
[Bridge]
It's good to see ya, I really mean it
Want complications or compilations?
Can't pop the question if you're live on Reddit
Until your father's back in carbon credit
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna live inside your headphones, baby
I wanna live inside a world wherever you are
I wanna live inside your headphones, baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Headphones baby, headphones baby
(I wanna live inside your head, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Headphones baby, headphones baby
[Chorus]
And I wanna die together like we're movie stars
Strung out on the bed over the handlebars
And they'll bury us in leather in Hollywood Forever
Don't you wanna die together? Don't you wanna die together?
[Outro]
Oh, I wanna die together, your forever man
Wanna be immortal, baby, that's my jam
We can blame it on the pressure and I'll have you forever
Don't you wanna die together? Don't you wanna die together?

I didn’t know what or who ‘headphones baby’ was, if it was a person or an idea. Before the song was written, I imagined it to be like my ‘Plug In Baby’ [Muse], but now it’s more like a concept or a feeling.
It’s about cocooning yourself from the outside world. Which is a topic I’ve always been mild...
Justin Young:
There is a bit of a theme across the record of fatalism. Not necessarily wanting to die—more wanting to throw caution to the wind, doing whatever you want. There’s a hedonism and euphoria, too. I remember the second I wrote this song, being very excited about it. It felt very euphoric...
