mistakes we knew we were making

and all our sins

come back to haunt us in the end

to hang around and tap us on the shoulder

and smile silent

it's all implied

you'll die trying to live this down

you might as well forget it

still i'm convinced

wondering what if is the worst thing there is

so we bottled and shelved all our regrets

let them ferment and came back to our senses

drove back home and slept a few days

woke up and laughed at how stupid we used to be

and all these lines fall short of what i had in mind

a failed attempt to capsulize a feeling

so i just try

fail and try and try again

someday i swear i'm going to get it

because i'm convinced that giving in is the worst thing there is

so we bottled and shelved all our regrets

let them ferment and came back to our senses

drove back home and slept a few days

woke up and laughed at how stupid we used to be

we'll get over it

sad

strong

safe

and sober

we'll move forward

and know where we went wrong

but you can't go home again

you can't go home again

you can't go home again

you can't go home again

you can't go home again!

you can't go home again!

you can't go home again!

so we bottled and shelved all our regrets

let them ferment and came back to our senses

drove back home and slept a few days

woke up and laughed at how stupid we used to be.
