Letters in a box
Tied with packing string
Back in the closet
Among the other things I see
I should've thrown them all away.
I waited for you all day
at the station.

And this how the news arrives
A phone call from far away
and my tongue was tied and I saw stars
but I didn't cry.

I didn't cry;
No I didn't cry.

Nothing I felt
I saved it in my throat
And all the things I wrote
I believe in just the same today
and feelings come away
I should've thrown them away
Should have thrown them away

And this how the news arrives
a phone call from far away
and my tongue was tied and I saw stars
but I didn't cry

I didn't cry
No, I didn't cry

Should've thrown them all away
I should've thrown them all away

And this is how the news arrives
With a phone call
From far away
And this how the news arrives
With a phone call
from far away.
