Hindsight Songtext
von The Long Winters

Did you say what you wanted said?
And now you′re just putting the days to bed
Young actors want to play and play
And you'll play, but you′re working

Call applicants and stole cornering them
We're all waiting for the big day
If you feel crazy that you're still crazy
It hasn′t happened for a few days
Well, just wait

In hindsight, you′re gonna wish you were here (ooh-ooh)
You keep scratching at the old paint (ooh-ooh)
But the wood is still there
And the room is still there (ooh-ooh)

If you're trying to feel the wind (ooh-ooh-oh)
Well, that′s a window you're pressed against

You never told me your secrets
So I guess they stayed safe with me
Tall orders from such small shoulders
And invitations on blue paper


But I′m bailing water and bailing water
'Cause I like the shape of the boat
You asked me, and I told you
And you asked me, and I told you, and I told you

In hindsight, you′re gonna wish you were here (ooh-ooh)
You keep scratching at the old paint (ooh-ooh)
But the wood is still there (ooh-ooh)
And the room is still there

If you're my anchor, then I'm throwing you over the side (ooh-ooh)
Before I have the time to say
I never wanted anyone this way (ooh-ooh)
But I′m smoking cigarettes when no one else does
And if I hold you now, will I be holding a snowball (ooh-ooh-ooh)
When the season changes and I′m craving the sun?

Are you still training for the big race
By hoping the runners will die?
Churning the words of your disgrace
But it's how you are when you′re down that counts

And you know we're a good thing
It′s been a long time since you said
Put down your camera and let me ask you
Is this new move just to keep moving?


In hindsight, you're gonna wish you were here (ooh-ooh)
You keep scratching at the old paint (ooh-ooh)
But the wood is still there (ooh-ooh)
And the room is still there

If I kiss you now like sun streaming in a tavern′s door (ooh-ooh-oh)
Would you wonder what I'm kissing you for?
