From The Stars Lyrics - To Lose My Life . . . - White Lies

I saw a friend that I once knew at a funeral 

He took the time out to be seen 

His eyes kept glancing to the hour hand on the gold watch 

That he'd been given by a magazine 

He didn't cry when the priest gave the sermon 

Just pulled up the woollen collar on his fleece 

Crossed his arms gave a sigh and checked the time again 

As he sat inches from the wife of the deceased 

He catches raindrops from his window, it reminds him of how we fall 

From the stars back to our cities where we've never felt so small 

Raindrops from his window, making puddles in his hands 

He sees how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands

He took a chauffeur-driven car back to his hotel 

Passing through the city streets where he was born 

He said, "Driver, what's happened to these buildings? 

They all look rundown and so forlorn" 

He took a shower in the bathroom of his penthouse 

Put the 'do not disturb' on his door 

When the maid came in the morning 

She found him shivering on the bedroom floor 

He catches raindrops from his window, it reminds him of how we fall 

From the stars back to our cities where we've never felt so small 

Raindrops from his window, making puddles in his hands 

He sees how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands 

He catches raindrops from his window, it reminds him of how we fall 

From the stars back to our cities where we've never felt so small 

Raindrops from his window, making puddles in his hands 

He sees how quick the water's rising as another raindrop lands
