A song about looking back on decisions you've made and working out what you would have changed.

lyrics

I have been down, I've been out for the count,
I have fallen harder, I can't take the heat,
There's something in the water that keeps us on the land,
We don't need a key to cross the sea and reach the other side of the sand.

Retrospective, I could have tried much harder,
Disrespected, I could have saved my soul,
Sentimental, my bedroom keeps me grounded,
Optimistic, the future is my home.

The Earth is curved so we can't see what's coming,
What's running up in store for us, what's creeping up behind,
There's laughter in my soul, it keeps me burning upwards,
I will build a home for us, I'll build it on the sand that we have conquered.

Because the foolish man still tried his best,
He had nobody to tell him what was right,
And if my house falls down into the sea,
I will build us both a shelter whilst I salvage all the driftwood and debris.

Retrospective, I could have tried much harder,
Disrespected, I could have saved my soul,
Sentimental, my bedroom keeps me grounded,
Optimistic, the future is my home.
