A rumination on an old lover who left you many moons ago, now telling you they may have made a mistake. But you have so moved on. Driven by harpsichord and whimsy.

Lyrics

Hindsight

You say things aren’t always what they seem
And things aren’t working out for you as you dreamed
All the love and hope you invested
Between
You and me
And the love of your life

I honestly can’t say I spend much time
Thinking about the hows and whys of
You and I
It’s only the curse of those who reverse traverse
To wonder if the choice they made was right

Oh hindsight is a wonderful thing!
In no uncertain terms, shows what might have been
Cheap and easy wisdom follows regret
The hardest choices are always ahead

Now you say you wish things between us had been
Different
But the thing is they weren’t
So you see…
What is done is done
And we cannot undo
All the things that were broken
Between me and you

I have to say that I rarely look back
Stop to think ’bout the time that was us
Those who are left
Have no choice
But to start again
So I did and
I found a much better place

Oh hindsight is a wonderful thing!
In no uncertain terms, shows what might have been
Cheap and easy wisdom follows regret
The hardest choices are always ahead

Now you tell me somehow, you’d
Like to go back
Like to go back
What do you want me to do?
Wind the clock back?
Wind the clock back?

Oh hindsight is a wonderful thing!
In no uncertain terms, shows what might have been
Cheap and easy wisdom follows regret
The hardest choices are always ahead

20/20 vision is an illusion
(you made your bed)

20/20 vision is an illusion
(now lie in it!)
