I regret not quitting my job after college to travel around Europe And I regret that I never acknowledge what I want but what I think I should And I wish I'd written more letters, more postcards, and read more maps But I didn't know it's what I wanted until after it was gone But they always say that They always say that They always say It's what they always say And I wish I would have been a bit less awkward when I left you on the platform And that whole ride I anguished over f**ing up my chance to say goodbye And I wish I wouldn't lose myself in moments that I can't ever take back But I know why they say that life's too short to keep on living in nostalgia But they always say that They always say that They always say It's what they always say I was lost for a little while, I couldn't find my way home You said it's just the way it gets when you start to get old I wrote you letters that I thought you'd never read about how My decisions didn't seem so sound to me after a while Say that They always say that They always say It's what they always say But they always say that They always say that They always say It's what they always say
