Lyrics
0:00I thought about sitting on the floor in second grade
0:06I couldn't keep the pace
0:09I thought i was the only one moving in slow motion
0:14While the other kids knew something i did not
0:18But if i acted like a clown
0:22I thought it get me through it did
0:24But that don't work no more
0:27You're not a kid no more
0:29I thought i'd do some travelling
0:31Never did
0:38Regrets regrets
0:50I thought about the hours wasted
0:54Watching tv drinking beer
0:56I thought about the things i thought about
1:00Until immobilized with fear
1:03And all the great ideas i had
1:06And how we just made fun
1:08Of those who had the guts to try and fail
1:12And then i ended up in jail
1:20Regrets regrets
1:32Regrets regrets
1:44but just for a day
1:45Seems the police had made a computer mistake
1:50Said there must be thousands like me with the
1:54Same name
1:55Anyway i thought about the things i settled for
2:00Or never tried
2:02I never visited my grandma even once
2:06When she was sick before she died
2:09So i don't blame you if you never come to see me
2:14Here again
2:21Regrets regrets
2:33Regrets
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 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 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 Regrets
