Regrets
Benjamin Pedersen Lyrics

Don't we all miss the old days
Nostalgia is a feeling we all can relate to, longing for the days of our past.

When everything was perfect
We tend to remember the good things but forget the bad as everything seemed perfect in the past.

Do we really learn from bad decisions
Questioning whether our mistakes really teach us something or just end in regrets.

Or do we just redirect them
Perhaps we never truly learn, but instead simply redirect our mistakes, hoping for a better outcome.

I do.
Acknowledging that the artist himself falls into this trap of redirecting bad decisions.

At least
Maybe the singer is alone in this feeling of regret, but at least he is honest about it.

It's not the blood that makes the final leap
Blood or genetics doesn't define our future, but rather the love and choices we make along the way.

It's the love
Ultimately, it's the love we give and receive that defines us and fills our memories.

I am trapped in the tide
Like a wave crashing down, the artist is stuck in his past memories and emotions.

When I called you mine
Perhaps the artist is recalling a past relationship and the emotions that came with it.

These flashbacks make me so sad
Memories of happier times can bring sadness when contrasted with the present.

Don't you miss the love we had
The artist is wondering if the other person feels the same sense of loss and longing for their past love.

If I could turn
The singer is wishing for the ability to revisit the past.

Make the time, I'll wait
The singer is willing to wait and put in the effort to go back to those happy times.

Like to those days while everything was good
The singer yearns for a time when everything seemed easy and good.

Provide all the things I've said and done
Perhaps the artist wants to make amends or relive past actions in hopes of bringing back those happy times.

Before I've started disappointing everyone
Regretting past actions that led to disappointing those around him.

Have regrets.
The singer acknowledges that they have regrets.

Because I have regrets.
The singer believes his regrets have caused him pain and longing for a better past.

Have regrets.
The artist repeats the idea of having regrets as a way of emphasizing their significance.
