If Only Avenue
Navigating If Only Avenue: Reflections on Life's Unchangeable Moments
Lyrics
With the luxury of hindsight
Reflecting on the past with the benefit of hindsight.
The past becomes so clear
The clarity of understanding increases when looking back.
As I look out on the twilight
Observing the evening, contemplating the passage of time.
My days have become years
Time has transformed days into years.
It's strange, as people we're prone to dwell
People tend to focus on irreversible things in life.
On things that we can't undo
Reflection on actions that cannot be undone.
And we're liable to wander down
Prone to wandering into a regretful mindset.
If only avenue
Nostalgically thinking about the "If only" scenarios.
In the company of distance
Examining life from a distance provides clarity.
We see where it all went wrong
Identifying where mistakes were made.
And we know what we'd do different
Awareness of what could have been done differently.
Should the chance come along
Hoping for a chance to make amends.
But change is easier said than done
Change is challenging, easier said than done.
It's a difficult thing to do and soon
Difficulty in implementing desired changes.
You'll be taking the next right on
Anticipating the next opportunity for change.
If only avenue
Navigating the regretful path of "If only" thoughts.
If only
Expressing the recurring sentiment of "If only."
You hadn't used up all your excuses
Regretting the exhaustion of excuses, taking responsibility.
Now there's nobody else to blame
No one else to blame, facing consequences.
And that's when they call your name
The moment of accountability when one's name is called.
It's down at the end of lonely street
Imagining a desolate place where regrets accumulate.
Neath a moon that keeps shining blue
The persistent moon symbolizing enduring remorse.
And we live with our thoughts alone
Living with introspective thoughts in isolation.
If only avenue
Continuing the journey on the regretful "If only" avenue.
Oh why have I wandered down
Questioning the choice to wander down the regretful path.
If only avenue
Reiterating the theme of dwelling on the "If only" scenarios.
