Verse 1
You told me so back in the spring
When the jasmine climbed the garden wall
I laughed it off and bought a ring
That never seemed to fit at all
You said the river takes what it wants
And leaves the stones to learn to roll
I turned my face into the sun
And swore the weather couldn't change my soul
Pre-Chorus
But now the morning comes in grey
And I keep wondering what you'd say
Oh what you'd say
Chorus
You told me so
You told me so
And I was too proud to know
You told me so
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Verse 2
You wrote your words upon my door
In chalk that washed away with rain
I read them once and read them more
Until they lived inside my brain
You said the honey always draws the bees
But the sting will find the careless hand
I swore I'd never bend my knees
To any truth I couldn't understand
Pre-Chorus
Now the fields are turning brown
And I keep walking into town
To see if you're around
Chorus
You told me so
You told me so
And I was too proud to know
You told me so
Post-Chorus
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Bridge
Somewhere a sitar hums a note
That shimmers through the cooling air
And every word you ever spoke
Comes dancing on the tambourine's bright clair
I should have listened then
But the trouble with a heart like mine
Is it only learns to see again
When it's running out of time
Running out of time
Chorus
You told me so
You told me so
And I was too proud to know
You told me so
You told me so
You told me so
Outro
Mm
Mm-hmm
Mm
You told me
You told me so
