Receiver - Juliana Hatfield

You can’t talk to anyone

Because you might get cut off

You get these strange signals

Are they abstract memories

Or are they warnings

Your senses are sending you a message

Can you identify the source

You can’t hear the voice on the other end

The ringing in your ears is louder than him

Or maybe you just don’t like what he’s saying

Or is your mind deceiving you again

Your senses are sending you a message

Can you identify the source

And your eyes have spells

You can fall over in the street

When your point of view

Tilts ninety degrees

Put on the music as loud as it goes

But you still can’t hear it

You can’t turn down the sound between your ears

It sounds like ocean waves crashing on the shore
