Hindsight, hah!

Chorus
Would I change my life, would I go back there?
Well, you know that’s one thing I can’t do
They say that hindsight is wonderful
But you know it can be heartbreak too

And when I was a kid
Oh my god the things I did
I was not always kind
Do you mind I’ll press rewind
All those hours badly spent
Is there still time to repent?
All those things that I did
As a kid

And then years later on
I was always going wrong
I did things way too fast
Thought my strength would last and last
But I ran out of steam
Hardly made it past eighteen
All those things I did wrong
Later on

Chorus

And then once I was grown
Well, I really should have known
But I kept to my ways
Stayed up nights and wasted days
I took more than my share
Got far too much wear and tear
Yes I really should have known
Once I’d grown

And then I lost my mind
Piece of mind is hard to find
When you’ve hidden it away
Buried deeper every day
You feel lost once it’s gone
Dig down deeper, on and on
Without signs it’s hard to find
Piece of mind

Chorus

And then you picked me up
That was such a stroke of luck
You were good, kind and strong
Made me wait a little long
But you saved me from me
Taught me what a girl can be
It was such a stroke of luck
Being picked up

And then finally I knew
What it was I had to do
It was time to take time
To learn which life would be mine
Would I earn a proper place
Would I slow down lose the race
That’s what I had to do
Now I knew

Chorus
