back in high school, i learned how to pretend
pretend to be cool, be everybody's friend
but i never really cared too much about the friends i called as such
i wish i was a different person then
i wish i could do it all over again
i would have laughed and cried
not so concerned with how i was looking
i would have danced, defying what was normal then
i wish i could do it all over again
finished college, as fast as i began
four years passed and i'm pretty glad with how they went
but as i think of all the things undone with my friends - I didn't care enough
i wish i was a different person then
i wish i could do it all over again
i would have laughed and cried
not so concerned with how i was looking
holding their hands in mine, i would have shared burdens with them
i wish i could do it all over again
i should love my woman, putting her first,
love with no condition, love without reserve
but i hardly ever love at all, my heart is hard and cold and small
i don't ever want to have to make amends
i don't want to have to wish this over again
i want to laugh and cry
not so concerned with how i am looking
holding her hand in mine, by her side to stand
i only want to be a better man, don't want to have to wish this over again
