It's really too bad he became a prisoner of his own past
He regrets being stuck in his past and being unable to move on.

He stabbed the moment in the back with a brown thumbtack
He failed to make good use of the present moment.

Then held up the list of things he gotta to do
He's overwhelmed with his to-do list.

It's really no good he's movin' on before he understood
He's making decisions before fully comprehending what he's getting into.

He shot the future in the foot with every step he took
His actions have detrimental effects on his future.

Caught from the places that he did cause he forgot to look
He's facing the consequences of his actions since he failed to pay attention to his surroundings.

Better staple it together and call a bad weather
He suggests we face our problems head-on and make the best out of bad situations.

Well I guess you could say that he don't even know where to begin
He's lost and unsure of how to proceed.

'Cause he looked both ways but he was so afraid
He's too afraid to take risks and move forward.

To get deeper into the ditch every chance he missed
He's constantly failing to make progress due to his fear of failure.

And the mess he made cause hate is such a strong word
His situation is complicated and could lead to negative emotions and repercussions.

And every brick he laid, the mistakes they said
Every decision he makes has the potential to lead to more mistakes.

And his walls are getting taller, his world is getting smaller
His problems are growing, making it harder for him to overcome them.

If the weather gets better we should get together
If things improve, we should come together and enjoy life.

Spend a little time or we could do whatever
We could hang out and do whatever we please.

And if we get together we'll be twice as clever
We're better off tackling problems together instead of facing them alone.
