[Verse 1]
You’ve been talkin’ for an hour
Movin’ your hands like a preacher on fire
I just nod and sip my coffee
Like I caught every detail
Every line
Truth is
Kid
I lost the plot
Round about nineteen-eighty-nine
But I got peace and quiet in my pocket
So I just sit back and smile
[Chorus]
I can’t hear a word you’re sayin’
But I’m smilin’ like I planned it this way (oh yeah)
All your drama
All your noise
Drifts off somewhere far away
I’ve got my own little heaven
Right here in this worn-out chair
I can’t hear a word you’re sayin’
And I’m so glad I’m unaware
[Verse 2]
You say they changed the phones again
New screens
New codes
New tricks
I just point at this old flip thing
Say
“This one still does the basics”
You’re rantin’ ’bout the headlines
Who’s mad at who today
I just watch your lips go movin’
Like a silent movie play
[Chorus]
I can’t hear a word you’re sayin’
But I’m smilin’ like I planned it this way (hey!)
All your worry
All your rush
Fades out in the softest gray
I’ve got my own little heaven
Right here in this creaky chair
I can’t hear a word you’re sayin’
And I’m so glad I’m unaware
[Bridge]
One day you’ll be where I am
Turnin’ down the world like it’s too loud
You’ll thank these tired old ears
For finally tuning the chaos out
[Chorus]
I can’t hear a word you’re sayin’
But I’m smilin’ like I planned it this way
Keep on talkin’
It’s alright
I like watchin’ your face anyway
I’ve got my own little heaven
Right here in the easy air
I can’t hear a word you’re sayin’
But I’m just fine sittin’ there (oh yeah)
