Life All Over
Lyrics
Life All Over
Copyright 2005


If you could live your life all over
What would you regret
Would your remorse make any difference
Would you just as soon forget
I'd like to think that I'd be sincere
Stronger and kinder, too
But if I'm honest with myself
An apology's the best I could do

(Chorus)
It just goes to show
We are who we are
Nuture and nature decree
If our time was given back to us
Could we change who we were to be
Could we change who we were to be

If you could live your life all over
What would you repair
Would you really live in the moment
Would you be that self-aware
I'd like to think that I'd be better
Smarter and nicer, too
But if I'm honest with myself
I'd react to the same old cues

(Chorus)

If you knew then
What you know now
What would you stand to gain
If you think about it
For just a moment
Life and time are the same
They're the same

If you could live your life all over
What would you erase
In it's absence would you lose experience
Impossible to replace
I'd like to think that I'd be grateful
Loving and wiser, too
But if I'm honest with myself
My mistakes would all be brand new
Description
Short Song Description:
If you could live your life over again, what would you do differently? Would you be able to?
Long Song Description:
If you could live your life all over, would you do anything differently? Would you be a better, smarter, kinder person? Or would nature and nurture make your life go exactly the same way.
Story Behind the Song:
I was thinking that sometimes self-improvement is easier to view in hindsight.
