"Should Have Seen It Coming" lyrics

"Should Have Seen It Coming"

I should have seen it coming, but I didn't have the time
Far to busy grafting to pick up on the signs
It came up through the static and hit me from behind
I should have seen it coming, but I didn't have the time

I should have seen it coming, but I looked the other way
I didn't need the trouble messing up my day
I figured if I walk on by somebody else could pay
I should have seen it coming, but I looked the other way

I'm gonna climb the highest mountain
And struggle with all my might
To see if it's fog that's dimmed my senses
Or the fading of the light

I should have seen it coming, but I just couldn't see
How such a thing could happen to someone like me
Thought that I was in control, but I was in jeopardy
I should have seen it coming, but I just couldn't see

I'm gonna climb the highest mountain
And struggle with all my might
To see if it's fog that's dimmed my senses
Or the fading of the light

I should have seen it coming, but I didn't understand
That hubris is the enemy of best laid plans
Seemed like I was riding high, but my head was in the sand
I should have seen it coming, but I didn't understand
