I heard it all, i heard it from my friends
They spared no detail, from beginning to end
There was a party last night where you used to live
And i wanted to go
But i didn't
The birds started singing, i didn't sleep tonight
How late it is in the early morning light
And i'm thinking those slow, dripping thoughts
And i could have made sense of them
But i did not
I made my escape, i'm lying in tall grass
I'm staring into space, the sun is coming fast
And i'm taken by the gentlest thing
And i wish i had stayed with you until morning
But i didn't
I like the way that the tall buildings look, oh oh
From the traffic on the bridge
It gives me the chance to sit, be still, and think
Of things that i didn't
