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'd 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 t.v., 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 make 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
