the things i notice now

rained again last night

streets are slowly drying

sunlight's not too bright

i don't believe it's trying

i never used to care

it wouldn't cross my mind

you'd be surprised

the things i notice now

the mailman's overdue

man upstairs is typin'

my neighbour's has the flu

and his wife has started gripin'

i never used to care

it wouldn't cross my mind

you'd be surprised

the things i notice now

i'm sittin' in the window seat

just watchin' my day walk by

there's a lot of people i should meet

if i could find a reason why

there's a whole lot of things

i oughta get up and do

like finding you

mornin' streets are jammed

taxi driver's swearin'

i think his rage is shammed

he looks like he's past carin'

i never used to care

it wouldn't cross my mind

you'd be surprised

the things i notice now

i'm going to get myself in line

i'm gonna get a hold on things

i'm probably going to be just fine

we'll see what tomorrow brings

there's a whole lot of things

i've gotta get up and do

like finding you

rained again last night

streets are slowly drying

sunlight's not too bright

i don't believe it's tryin'

i never used to care

it wouldn't cross my mind

you'd be surprised

the things i notice now
