Regrets
I thought about sitting on the floor in second grade
I couldn’t keep the pace
I thought I was the only one moving in slow motion
while the other kids knew something I did not
But if I acted like a clown
I thought it would get me through, it did
but that don’t work no more
You’re not a kid no more
I thought I’d do some travelling
never did
Regrets, regrets
I thought about the hours wasted
watching TV, drinking beer
I thought about the things I thought about
until immobilised with fear
And all the great ideas I had
and how we just made fun
of those who had the guts to try and fail
and then I ended up in jail
Regrets, regrets
… but just for a day
seems the police had made a computer mistake
said there must be thousands like me with the
same name
Anyway, I thought about the things I settled for
or never tried
I never visited my grandma even once
when she was sick before she died
So I don’t blame you if you never come to see me
here again
Regrets, regrets
