Skylar Grey, Travis Barker - Only Thing I Hear lyrics

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

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

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

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

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)

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
