Jakob Sveistrup - Regrets Lyrics

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
