Forest for the Trees Songtext
von Danko Jones

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 too soon to make amends
And if I never see you again
It′ll be too 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
Every day's a final straw
Can′t see the forest for the trees (can't see the forest for the trees)

Can′t see the forest for the trees (can't see the forest for the trees)
Can't see the forest for the trees (can′t see the forest for the trees)
Can′t see the forest for the trees (can't see the forest for the trees)
Whoa-oh, whoa-oh (can′t see the forest for the trees)
(Can't see the forest for the trees) can′t see the forest for the trees
The trees, the trees
The trees, the trees

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


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
