Cranking my radio, drowning out Romeo with bass. Its thundering & quieting, Im riding the storm. I see you scream at me but I pretend Im somewhere else. I used to hear you but....
(chorus)
Non-essential information, a hurricane of aggravation. Your head is high above the clouds, go write a best-seller now. I thought I heard something, but maybe it was just a dream, I used to hear you but now I know.
(chorus)
