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'd 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 t.v., 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 make 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
