I would never have been in such a rush
I would never have tried to control
I would
never have worn such �fear lenses�
I would never have held on so tightly

I
would have kept my boundaries set
My loving no�s, my unwavering yes�s
Risked
abandonment and stood by that
And thereby felt constant connect

This fountain
of regret, this looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight if i knew then what i
know now
This mountain of remorse won�t repeat with my understanding
This wouldn�t
have happened if i knew then what i know now

I would�ve gone slower
Pushed
infrequent
Would not have rushed into such commitment
I would�ve shown restraint as my
feet got wet
I would�ve baby-stepped into intimate

This fountain of regret,
this looking back with twenty-twenty
This torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know
now
This mountain of remorse won�t repeat with my understanding
This wouldn�t have
happened if i knew then what i know now

I would�ve known much more
Known that
time was all we had for future depth to unfold
I would�ve had more faith at every step /> I would�ve kept intact through the whole process

Oh this fountain of regret is
looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight if i knew then what i know now /> This mountain of remorse won�t repeat with my understanding
This wouldn�t have happened
if i knew then what i know
