Landing on [bad word] in Chicago
And I'm grounding all my dreams
Of ever really seeing California
'Cause I know what's in between
Is something sensual
In such non-conventional ways
Tonight, the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say

Tonight, the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say
(Tonight, I'm writing you) a million miles away
Tonight is all about "we miss you, we miss you"
Tonight is all about "we miss you"

And I can't forget your style
Or your cynicism
Somehow, it was like you were the first to listen
To everything
We said
My smile's an open wound without you
And my hands are tied to pages inked to bring you back

Tonight, the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say
(Tonight, I'm writing you) a million miles away
Tonight is all about "we miss you, we miss you"
Tonight is all about "we miss you now"

(These friends are, new friends are golden
These friends are, new friends are golden)
These friends are, new friends are golden
These friends are, new friends are

Tonight, the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say
Tonight, the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say
Tonight, the headphones will deliver you the words that I can't say

These friends are, new friends are golden
