[Intro]
Put your headphones on
[Chorus]
Guess I gotta accept the pain
Need a cigarette to make me feel better
Every good thing comes my way
So I still get dolled up
Guess I gotta accept the pain
Need a cigarette to make me feel better
Every good thing comes my way
So I
[Post-Chorus]
So I put my headphones on (I put my headphones on)
Listen to my favorite song (Listen to my favorite song)
Soaking up the rain (Ah)
Letting my hair down (Uh-huh)
So I put my headphones on
Come and put your headphones on
[Verse]
Wish my mom and dad could've been in love
Guess some things aren't meant to last forever
I compare my life to the new it girl
Jealousy's a rip tide, it pulls me under
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't fix what has already been broken
You just have to surrender to the moment
[Chorus]
I guess I gotta accept the pain
Need a cigarette to make me feel better
Every good thing comes my way
So I still get dolled up
Guess I gotta accept the pain
Need a cigarette to make me feel better
Every good thing comes my way
So I
[Post-Chorus]
So I put my headphones on (I put my headphones on)
Listen to my favorite song (Listen to my favorite song)
Soaking up the rain (Ah)
Letting my hair down (Uh-huh)
So I put my headphones on
Come and put your headphones on
Listen to my favorite song
[Bridge]
I know the lows are what makes the highs higher
So I tell myself this is a reminder
Life's no fun through clear waters
[Pre-Chorus]
You can't fix what has already been broken
You just have to surrender to the moment
[Chorus]
Guess I gotta accept the pain
Need a cigarette to make me feel better
Every good thing comes my way
So I still get dolled up
Guess I gotta accept the pain
Need a cigarette to make me feel better
Every good thing comes my way
So I
[Post-Chorus]
So I put my headphones on (I put my headphones on)
Listen to my favorite song (Listen to my favorite song)
Soaking up the rain (Ah)
Letting my hair down (Uh-huh)
So I put my headphones on
[Outro]
Gonna dance, gonna dance 'til the wheels fall off
You know I can't get enough
Gonna dance, gonna dance 'til the wheels fall off
You know I can't get enough
Gonna dance, gonna dance 'til the wheels fall off
You know I can't get enough
Gonna dance, gonna dance 'til the wheels fall off
'Til the wheels fall off

Honestly, I don’t remember how we first started this. We were going through the drum machines.

That week was a little chaotic, we were all pretty sick.

Oh, my God, I had pneumonia. It was really scary actually.
Luka:
It must have been just amidst like the chao...
