Yo La Tengo - I Should Have Known Better lyrics
[Yo La Tengo - I Should Have Known Better lyrics]
A stranger on the train
His face was familiar
But I couldn't place the name
It got to be ugly, threats were made
I hope that no one who could see
Would be someone who'd know me
I had a small run-in with
A driver and his wife
You might call it road rage
But we got out with our life
Considered nothing, I held my ground
And now that it's over
I've said that there must be a better way
I keep it in mind eight times out of nine
I'm wrong or I'm right
It's not worth a fight
But what's hard to define
Makes it tough to decide you don't realize
Until after it has begun
Whether this is the one
I probably knew better
I probably knew better
Considered nothing, I held my ground
And now that it's over
I'll say that there must be a better way
I keep it in mind eight times out of nine
I'm wrong or i'm right
It's not worth a fight
But what's hard to abide
It's tough to decide we don't realize
Until after it has begun
Whether this was the one
I probably knew better
I probably knew better
I probably knew better
I probably knew better
