"I Knew That You'd Say That" lyrics

I know that love at long distance
Is hard to sustain
Just when you think that it's fading
It's vivid again
You couldn't square it
With all your beliefs
You got caught in the moment
But that's all that exists

You've got to get it all out of your head
Yes I knew that you'd say that
You let your troubles climb into your bed
Yes I knew that you'd say that
Yes I knew, yes I knew, clever you
What's it like to be blessed with such foresight?
I've got to get it all out of my head
But just how should I do that?

You couldn't bear it
How the seasons repeat
Preoccupied by the patterns
They absorb the defeat
Is it inconsequential
Or a practical need?
We could live life without love
But then what would life be?

You've got to get it all out of your head
Yes I knew that you'd say that
You let your troubles climb into your bed
Yes I knew that you'd say that
Disentangling quandries in your sleep
All the promises you didn't keep
I've got to get it all out of my head
But just how should I do that?

In the hotel, you had nowhere else to go
Southern California, life put on a show
And I hope it won't be long
'Til you find the place where you belong

You've got to get it all out of your head
Yes I knew that you'd say that
You let your troubles climb into your bed
Yes I knew that you'd say that
Disentangling quandries in your sleep
All the promises you didn't keep
I've got to get it all out of my head
But just how should I do that?
