Ben Folds Regrets Lyrics

Regrets Lyrics

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 travelling

Never
did



Regrets, regrets



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



Regrets, regrets



But just for a day

Seems the police had made 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
