Regrets
[ B. Folds ]

 
 

from the Sony/550 Ben Folds Five release
The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner

 
     
 

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 traveling, I never did

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

Every day it seems the police
have made a computer mistake
Said 'there must be thousands like me
with the same name'
Anyway, I thought about the things I settled for
I never tried
I never visited my grandma even once
When she was sick before she died
So I don't blame if you never come
And see me here again
