Today

Sometimes it seems I'm living in Mistakes of years gone by I get a panoramic view Of things I never tried For each dumb thing, I've done it twice And I am twice the fool I've taken half the good advise And followed half the rules But everybody has the past Still gleaming in their eyes And everyone would try again If they could press rewind Somehow we only bit our tongues When all the words were spoken Somehow it hurts to trace a scar More then a wound that's open As moments come, and decades go Sometimes we see just half While half of every waking thought Is buried in the past Among the ashes of the clock We're charred until we say It isn't what I've done that counts It's what I'll do today
