Lyrics

Hindsight

Three wasted years, standing still As you opened up, eighteen miles wide On this country drive I can't keep up 'Cause you're so far gone And it's all too much hindsight Three wasted years, wasting time As the hunger pains grow inside I can't keep up 'Cause you're so far gone And it's all too much hindsight I can't keep up 'Cause you're so far gone And it's all too much hindsight I can't keep up 'Cause you're so far gone And it's all too much hindsight
