Spectators

down on the other side of things
 the triggers fast and light
 bringing home this emptiness
 for which you had to fight
 it doesn't matter if you're giving
 for they do not compromise
 the world will keep you guessing
 until the day you die
 And everyone will say "I told you so"
 yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
 but I'll make a run at something real
 and they'll never even try
 and everyone will say "I told you so"
 yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
 as I go down in a ball of flames
 they'll just watch, I wonder why
 When the people downtown are freezing
 sometimes you cannot hide
 so what can you do its often true
 then we shift away our eyes
 but maybe that moments ours to live
 and maybe that's what we were for
 as fate will share a chance with you
 to open up your door
 I don't understand
 why you're just standing there
 I don't understand
 why you don't seem to care
 And everyone will say "I told you so"
 yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
 but I'll make a run at something real
 and they'll never even try
 and everyone will say "I told you so"
 yeah they'll all just nod and sigh
 and tell me where I made my big mistake
 they may just be surprised
