Lyrics
20/20
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I would never have been in such a rush
I would never have tried to control
I would never have worn such 'fear lenses'
I would never have held on so tightly
I would have kept my boundaries set
My loving no's, my unwavering yes's
Risked abandonment and stood by that
And thereby felt constant connect
This fountain of regret
This looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight
If I knew then what I know now
This mountain of remorse
Won't repeat with my understanding
This wouldn't have happened
If I knew then what I know now
I would've gone slower pushed infrequent
Would not have rushed into such commitment
I would've shown restraint as my feet got wet
I would've baby-stepped into intimate
This fountain of regret
This looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight
If I knew then what I know now
This mountain of remorse
Won't repeat with my understanding
This wouldn't have happened
If I knew then what I know now
I would've known much more
Known that time was all
We had for future depth to unfold
I would've had more faith at every step
I would've kept intact through the whole process
Oh, this fountain of regret
This looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight
If I knew then what I know now
This mountain of remorse
Won't repeat with my understanding
This wouldn't have happened
If I knew then what I know now
