[English]

I can take a beating like a good pair of headphones

I can take a hit like Karate Kid

You know you could learn a lot from a good pair of headphones

Like how to take a beating

I know I did

Oh, it's just another chain reaction

When you make the big mistake

Suffer all the satisfaction

Of feeling this way

A pretty picture of a better man taking you out

Holding your hand, it's your favorite band

He says: It's so fucking cute when you rock it out

If you laugh to your route, out of breath, CPR, mouth to mouth

Oh, it's just another chain reaction

When you make the big mistake

Suffer all the satisfaction

Of learning something

(I'm so glad we can still be friends)

Oh, I can take a beating like a good pair of headphones

And I can stand the test of time like Harrison Ford

So go ahead, rough me up like a good pair of headphones

I wanna open my heart, but you won't open the door

(Why I gotta feel this way?)

It's just another chain reaction

When you make the big mistake

Suffer all the satisfaction

I feel this way
