Story behind the song
An obvious play on words = Humble regrets
Lyrics
1. Time plays tricks upon us all
Youth is wasted on the young
I didn't do half the things
That I'd set out to do
You can't rewind time
or live on sentimental longings
Sooner or later you have to see
That I'm half the man, I wish I used to be
2. Too many bitter memories
Then again no memory at all
Of wasted wishing and hoping
That I was someone else
3. I never felt the passion of regrets
Then she could no longer hold back
Nobody could ever successfully pretend
That I wasn't just a temporary compromise
4. A place to hang your hat
A place to hang your dreams
Did I set the bar too high?
Where did my train leave the tracks?
