Just Like the Movies

My ear buds had been in for a while and I heard the outside world just fine but  all of a sudden I couldn't. I can't understand a word she's saying I just see her head nodding and her hands wringing and her mouth wrinkling and everything feels spacey and far away as if the music is a soundtrack. Muse or Paganini or some obscure indie artist was playing I didn't even like the song that much so I don't know how I got lost. And we were in some montage where the music swells as if it was the turning point of a personal revelation--but it isn't, she's just talking too much and asking a question she already knows the answer to so my brain floats away.
