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 Immobilized 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
