[Verse 1]
Come sit with me
In the shade of the oak tree and listen close
You can hear the bowed branches say
"You were right," and I
Now that the sky is falling all around
Have to say that I have to agree
You were right
[Chorus]
We're gonna lose the race
We're gonna lose our cool
We're gonna run away
To a place we just don't know
How to not feel out of control
[Verse 2]
And when I said
"Would you say it's the rain that plays the tree?"
And you said
"I would say it's the street that plays the city"

You were right
[Chorus]
We're gonna lose the race
We're gonna lose our cool
We're gonna run away
To some place we just don't know
How to not feel out of control
Out of control
Out of control
[Verse 3]
Come sit with me
In the shade of the oak tree and listen close
You can hear the bowed branches say
"You were right," and I
Now that the sky is falling all around
Have to say that I have to agree
You were right
[Chorus]
We're gonna lose the race
We're gonna lose our cool
We're gonna run away
To some place we just don't know
How to not feel
Like we're gonna take a beating
We're gonna take a fall
We're gonna take a rocket
To that planet they changed their minds about
And now they just call it a stone
[Outro]
Have to say I have to agree
You were right
You were right

It’s something that I’m going through in...
