Only Thing I Hear

[Verse 1] My parents say that you'll never amount to much They say that I should be careful 'cause you're bad luck When I try to ignore them, they say "Listen up, this is how it will be.." I get so tired of listening to everyone Tell me what should I be feeling, what I should want So I try to ignore them, but it never stops I just can't get any peace [Chorus] As I wander to your side of town each day Where the windows are barred And hopeless lays on the street All the noise disappears You're the only thing I hear [Verse 2] What they don't know is that I am a lot like you It doesn't matter that we have an ocean view Though it's all picture perfect, unlike me and you They just fight all the time, and I get so tired of listening to everyone Tell me I have everything that a girl should want Because under the surface, this place is corrupt I just can't get any peace [Chorus] As I wander to your side of town each day Where the windows are barred And hopeless lays on the street All the noise disappears You're the only thing I hear [Bridge] When there's thunder in the sky (You're the only thing I hear) And the sirens blare at night (You're the only thing I hear) When there's gunshots in the street (You're the only thing I hear) There's no place I'd rather be (You're the only thing I hear) [Chorus] As I wander to your side of town each day Where the windows are barred And hopeless lays on the street All the noise disappears You're the only thing I hear
