Hold on tight with all your might
Don't you dare let go
Those who play the game have the reigns
A fact that we all know
We go through life not thinking twice
About the to and fro
But check the facts and you'll see that
~I told you so~

From here to there from there to here
Is how we often go
In lives no less than emptiness
We say we do but don't
Take your time it's your dime
But is your dime on loan
Was the interest paid when you heard me say
~That I told you so~

In waters deep do you find you need
A better way to float
In a loud crowd does the sound drown out
Is there any way to cope
Raise your hand if you think you can
Or at least you think you know
About the time I laid down this line
~I told you so~
