could i just...?

Could I just turn off your volume
When you shout in my ear;
Could I just not hear,
Maybe press 'pause' and then never resume?

Could I be sitting home instead
Watching wildlife scenes
On a dusty TV screen
While lying down relaxed in my bed?

Could I not get caught up in things spoken
As truths turn to lies;
Could I just close my eyes
And ignore all promises that were broken?

Could I just enjoy life for a moment,
A pizza and a coke
Without hustle you provoke
With your each and every comment?
