the trees are too green and it’s too warm for a moment that’s supposedly dying
the sea is too deep and it’s too cold for something that i’ll probably die in
the world is too big for us to pretend that this was merely coincidence
but i’m too afraid to say anything that could possibly jeopardize it
the trains are so loud when they make a break to get out of this city
the days are so round and i never know when exactly they’re ending
i don’t want to be the one to say i told you so
so i won’t be the one to say i told you so
you’ll go
i know
the rain is too wet and it’s too long waiting between broken showers
the things have been said but they’re too small to make me less of a coward
the city’s too busy for us to sit easy where minutes meet hours
and i’m too appalled to say what i saw when i got to the top of the tower
the smoke hit our lungs when we smiled at the floor late in the morning
the joke was on us and all we could see was the distortion blurring
i don’t want to be the one to say i told you so
so i won’t be the one to say i told you so
you’ll go
i know
you’ll go
i know
i don’t want to be the one to say i told you so
so i won't be the one to say i told you so
i don’t want to be the one to say i told you so
so i won’t be the one to say i told you so
