Hindsight - Built To Spill

Hindsight's giving me

Too much memory

There's too much never seen

But it's always there

Cuz it's everywhere

Taking my own advice

Worked out for me nice

But now I come to find

The tricks we play

With human brains

They don't want to think about the other side

Is that grass just greener cuz it's fake

Cuz that's all that we've been told

Since we were five years old

Is that all we'll ever know

Hindsight brings me down

It keeps me on the ground

And though I'm never proud

I wouldn't dare

If you weren't there

The thing with gettin' up

Feels like giving up

Feels like not enough

You eat a crumb

And waste a loaf

They don't want to talk about the other side

Where the grass was greener than they said

Cuz this doesn't bring to mind

What I'd expect to find

They must be color blind

What about canada

What about canada

This paradise

Of pines and ice

Morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping

Bad into ideas was no surprise

We'll wait till the wild has rights

The never lock doors at night

And kiss all those wars goodbye
