White Lies - From The Stars lyrics
rate meI saw a friend that i once knew at a funeral,<br />
He took the time out to be seen.<br />
His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch, that he'd been given by a magazine.<br />
<br />
He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon,<br />
Just pulled up the woolen collar on his fleece.<br />
Crossed his arms, gave a sigh and checked the time again,<br />
As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased.<br />
<br />
He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,<br />
From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so small<br />
<br />
Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,<br />
He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands<br />
<br />
He took a chauffeur driven car back to his hotel,<br />
Passing through the sick streets where he was born<br />
He said "Driver, what's happened to these buildings? They all look run down and so alone."<br />
<br />
He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse,<br />
Put the Do not Disturb on his door<br />
When the maid came in the morning<br />
She found him shivering on the bedroom floor<br />
<br />
He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,<br />
From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so small<br />
<br />
Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,<br />
He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands<br />
<br />
He catches raindrops on his window, it reminds him how he falls,<br />
From the stars back to our cities, where we've never felt so small<br />
<br />
Rain drops from his window making puddles in his hands,<br />
He thinks how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands<br />
