I never was an astronaut floating out in space
& I never made the big leagues, & I never went to Spain
But is time just a lie so every dream comes true?
Because someone said every regret is something you never do
I never was an actor, never finished what I begin
& I never even asked her, never saw what might have been
But is love just a game that I'm too scared to lose?
Because someone said every regret is something you never do
Born to die or born to run
Born to lie alone, like father like son
But I won't trade it in the end
To go back again
I never could remember every little grudge
& I never should have even cared but I never stayed in touch
But if the future's what we change, but the past is what we'd choose
Because someone said every regret is something you never do
But to die or born to run
Born to lie alone, like father, like son
Younger now but I was younger then
Born to live & born to love
Born in time tonight & on the cusp
But I won't trade it in the end
To go back again
I never went to see you on the day that you died
& I never saw you smile again & I never said goodbye
But when everything is gone will we come back anew?
Because once you said every regret is something you never do
