Alanis Morissette 20/20

Tekst piosenki

[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
