I Told You So

my friends are all starting to look old

you can see the lines where their smiles don't go

you can hang around when i want to be alone

have i told you so?

i have told you so

you've got impossible dreams and you seem

to be holding your seams in the sweetness of an old

sweet dream, and you have what all your friend's

want to pay attention to, and you've got

what all you're friends won't pay attention to.

we're going to have to cover

all those things we can't clear - now we talk

for hours about the cost of the year

i heard you worked it out

with all those things that you hear

have i told you so?

i have told you so

and i'm holding my hands at the airport

watching you never arrive. Hearing the sounds

of air and car traffic, i'm whistling "i will survive"

and i'm whispering all of the time.
