Songtext Forest for the trees Danko Jones

Forest for the trees

All you want to be is insane
Wishing you were more than just plain
And when you try you try too hard it comes off fake

Many times I wanted to say
Plastic people like you will break
And soon enough it caught up and you went away

And if I
Never see
You Again
It'll be too soon to make amends

And if I
Never see
You Again
It'll be too soon to make amends

You like it when you make people wait
It's the only time you're calling the plays
Controlling nothing makes you execrate

Everybody knows you're in pain
We all know it stems from the shame
Because your actions called for a drastic fall from grace

And if I
Never see
You Again
It'll be to soon to make amends

And if I
Never see
You Again
It'll be to soon to make amends

You suck up life like you're a needle
Sticking in a vein for life
Keep up appearances when needed
You're used to changing overnight

I always wondered if you saw
What the rest of us could see
Your every day's a final straw
Can't see the forest for the trees

And if I
Never see
You Again
It'll be to soon to make amends
