"i heard about your trip
i heard about your souvenirs
i heard about the cool breeze in the cool nights
and the cool guys that you spent them with
i guess i should have heard of them from you
i guess i should have heard of them from you"

[verse[2]}:
"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
well i guess i should have heard of that from you
i guess i should have heard of that from you"
"'cause this will be the last time
that i'll let you
you will be back some day
and this awkward kiss
that tells of other people's lips
will be of service
to keeping you away
to keeping you away"

"i'm waiting for blood to flow to my fingers
i'll be all right when my hands get warm
ignoring the phone, i'd rather say nothing
i'd rather you'd never heard my voice
you're calling too late, too late to be gracious
and you do not warrant long good byes"
