"Hell Nos and Headphones" By Hailee Steinfeld

13 1 2
                                    

I find this song kind of interesting. Instead of singing about partying and drinking like most artists, Hailee sings about no (or no longer) drinking and leaving the party. In my mind, she is being smart and seems to be still sane. Once I heard of this song, I began singing it without realizing it.


  Seems like everybody here
Is speaking different languages
With that green prescription file
Blowing up their faces


[Explicit:] And they all look me up and down like I'm a fucking new kid
[Clean:] And they all look me up and down like I'm some kind of new kid
But I saw the sun rise on this town way before you did
And they're all skiing in the powder room
Making love to Jack and Jameson
But I'll stick with hell nos and headphones


Cause all of my friends are leaving soon
To find them, themselves another round
But I'll be here in this stranger's room
Just for now (just for now)
Yeah, I'll stick with hell nos and headphones
Don't want another drink
I just, just wanna be alone
No, I don't care 'bout what you think
I'm going home
Yeah, I'll stick with hell nos and headphones


Twenty-seven blocks ago
I didn't even say goodbye
People blowin' up my phone
Askin' me if I'm alright


And they're sending pictures, kissing on each other, like wasted
And on top on that, they're sending videos of them naked
But you know I don't judge what's on your tongue
Yeah, I know you're having fun
But I'll stick with hell nos and headphones


Cause all of my friends are leaving soon
To find them, themselves another round
But I'll be here in this stranger's room
Just for now (just for now)
Yeah, I'll stick with hell nos and headphones
Don't want another drink
I just, just wanna be alone
No, I don't care 'bout what you think
I'm going home
Yeah, I'll stick with hell nos and headphones


(Hell nos and headphones)
Hell nos and headphones


Cause all of my friends are leaving soon
To find them, themselves another round
But I'll be here in this stranger's room
Just for now
Yeah, I'll stick with hell nos and headphones
Don't want another drink
I just, just wanna be alone (I just wanna be alone)
No, I don't care 'bout what you think
I'm going home (home, home)
Yeah, I'll stick with hell nos and headphones  

To be honest, I love singing the verses, though I can't hit the high notes in the chorus very well.
