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     about             your regrets
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 guess I should've heard of them from you

I'll be alright when my hands get

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

You're calling too late, You're calling too late

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