Hindsight

Did you say what you wanted said?
 And now you're just putting the days to bed
 young actors want to play and play
 and you'll play, but you're working
 call applicants and stole cornering them
 we're all waiting for the big day
 if you feel crazy that you're still crazy
 it hasn't happened for a few days
 well just wait
 in hindsight you're gonna wish you were here
 you keep scratching at the old paint
 but the wood is still there
 and the room is still there
 if you're trying to feel the wind
 well that's a window you're pressed against
 you never told me your secrets
 so I guess they stayed safe with me
 tall orders from such small shoulders
 and invitations on blue paper
 but I'm bailing water and bailing water
 'cause I like the shape of the boat
 you asked me and I told you
 and you asked me and I told you and I told you
 in hindsight you're gonna wish you were here
 you keep scratching at the old paint
 but the wood is still there
 and the room is still there
 if you're my anchor then I'm throwing you over the side
 before I have the time to say
 I never wanted anyone this way
 but I'm smoking cigarettes when no one else does
 and if I hold you now will I be holding a snowball
 when the season changes and I'm craving the sun?
 Are you still training for the big race
 by hoping the runners will die?
 Churning the words of your disgrace
 but it's how you are when you're down that counts
 and you know we're a good thing
 it's been a long time since you said
 put down your camera and let me ask you
 is this new move just to keep moving?
 in hindsight you're gonna wish you were here
 you keep scratching at the old paint
 but the wood is still there
 and the room is still there
 if I kiss you now like sun streaming in a tavern's door
 would you wonder what I'm kissing you for?
