Written and recorded during an unusual (for Seattle) week of consecutive snowstorms right before Christmas, 2008. I have a lot of days where I wonder if I've really messed up - that maybe I should have chosen another path in life. Obviously, I know it's too late to change anything now, but on bad days I can't help but wonder about the "might have been's."
lyrics
End run
Around the bend
Know that
I can't attend
Tell me
What just happened
Plans laid
By mice and men
I feel like I've squandered all my time
I feel like I've wasted all my time
Don't ask
What could have been
Too much
Of hard thinkin'
I doubt
The where and when
No fear
Though I'm sinkin'
There are things I cannot share with anyone
Maybe
It's for the best
Grown up
I'm used to this
Love is
Discouraging
Don't try
To let me in
