20/20 hindsight

barenaked ladies

if you don't mind

it won't take long

i'm gonna stand up here and sing my song

i wanna dedicate it to my friends

from the very beginning to the end

i'm not a hostage to regret

but so many times i can't forget

if i could get back to those days

i know what to do

i know what to say

i barely knew my up from down

or my left from right

everything is clearer now

in hindsight

twenty-twenty hindsight

me and sylvie and silent sam

we were sittin' so long

it never ends

i wish we could get together again

and we could laugh and play like we did back then

sometimes i wander to that road

that i turned off of so long ago

i sit and wonder where it goes

and what different story might've been told

if i never said i love you"
