I heard about your trips
I heard about your souvenirs
I heard about the cool breeze and the cool nights and the
Cool guys that you spent them with
I guess I should've heard of them from you
I guess I should've heard of them from you

I heard that you were feeling sorry
I heard from someone that you wish you could
Set things right between us
I guess I should've heard of them from you

I'm waiting for blood, To flow to my fingers,

I'll be alright when my hands get

Warm. Ignoring the phone, I'd rather say nothing,

I'd rather you never heard my voice

You're calling too late, To late to be gracious

You're calling too la----ate.
