20 20 Lyrics

I would never have been in such a rush

I would never have tried to
control

I would never have worn such 'fear lenses'

I would never
have held on so tightly



I would have kept my boundaries set

My loving no’s, my unwavering yes’s

Risked abandonment and stood by
that

And thereby felt constant connect



This fountain of
regret, this looking back with twenty-twenty

Torturous hindsight if i
knew then what i know now

This mountain of remorse won’t repeat with my
understanding

This wouldn’t have happened if i knew then what i know
now



I would’ve gone slower

Pushed infrequent

Would not
have rushed into such commitment

I would’ve shown restraint as my feet got
wet

I would’ve baby-stepped into intimate



This fountain of
regret, this looking back with twenty-twenty

This torturous hindsight if
i knew then what i know now

This mountain of remorse won’t repeat with my
understanding

This wouldn’t have happened if i knew then what i know
now



I would’ve known much more

Known that time was all we
had for future depth to unfold

I would’ve had more faith at every
step

I would’ve kept intact through the whole process



Oh
this fountain of regret is looking back with twenty-twenty

Torturous
hindsight if i knew then what i know now

This mountain of remorse won’t
repeat with my understanding

This wouldn’t have happened if i knew then
what i know
