lyrics

Many times, I’ve asked time to wait
I always learn my lessons too late
Retrospect is just a useless friend
Constant wisdom on the mend

My, oh, my, they say "time will fly"
So I try not to imagine the day I'll die
Peering into creases of lives I’ve had
Some of them were not so bad

Still I can’t really seem to let it go at all, oh
If I collapse, I’ll surely fall
Down where hindsight will take a look
Who even wrote this book?

Many times, I’ve asked time to wait
I always learn my lessons too late
Retrospect is just a useless friend
Constant wisdom on the mend

Hold on a minute now, stop that sand
I’m not ready for it all to fall through my hands
I think I liked it better playing by some script
Than this open book I don’t know how to fill in

Hold on a minute now, stop that page
I just barely started learning from that stage
Down I go into hindsight again
And I forgot my pen

Many times, I’ve asked time to wait
I always learn my lessons too late
Retrospect is just a useless friend
Constant wisdom on the mend

Retrospect is just a useless friend
Constant wisdom on the mend
