lyrics
INTRO
Regrets are made of tears
Your passion's full of fears
You're living the retrospective life
That's what you were told
You just have missed the boat
You're living the retrospective life
VERSE
You're trapped in yourself
You really like to
Going to tell you've been drinking alone
Hey, it's getting late
You like to watch and wait
You've been dreaming alone
BRIDGE
Too much, too young, too soon, too old, too plain, too weak for the Rock'n'Roll show
You can't clear your mind
She said `Come on in! The water is fine!´
VERSE
When Katy's gone, it's forever
You'll pray for dirty weather
You pray by now, but everything has changed
And when it's now or never, you'd turn this whole thing over
You pray by now, but everything has changed
You can't change your spots, can you?
You don't feel free to feel, do you?
VERSE
Keep a weather eye on the horizon
It looks alive
You've been drinking alone
Why went it wrong?
You've tried to stop a rolling stone
You've been dreaming alone
Too much, too young, too soon, too old, too plain, too weak for the Rock'n'Roll show
You can't clear your mind
She said `Come on in! The water is fine!´
OUTRO
And if this night lasts forever, you'd turn this hole thing over
Things are moving fast
You cannot fix the past
Regrets are made of tears
Your passion's full of fears
You're living the retrospective life
That's what you were told
You just have missed the boat
You're living the retrospective life
VERSE
You're trapped in yourself
You really like to
Going to tell you've been drinking alone
Hey, it's getting late
You like to watch and wait
You've been dreaming alone
BRIDGE
Too much, too young, too soon, too old, too plain, too weak for the Rock'n'Roll show
You can't clear your mind
She said `Come on in! The water is fine!´
VERSE
When Katy's gone, it's forever
You'll pray for dirty weather
You pray by now, but everything has changed
And when it's now or never, you'd turn this whole thing over
You pray by now, but everything has changed
You can't change your spots, can you?
You don't feel free to feel, do you?
VERSE
Keep a weather eye on the horizon
It looks alive
You've been drinking alone
Why went it wrong?
You've tried to stop a rolling stone
You've been dreaming alone
Too much, too young, too soon, too old, too plain, too weak for the Rock'n'Roll show
You can't clear your mind
She said `Come on in! The water is fine!´
OUTRO
And if this night lasts forever, you'd turn this hole thing over
Things are moving fast
You cannot fix the past
