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
