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 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...
