Best Regrets

I keep my head low
As I enter the square
Don’t know what to think
Or who might be there

Been scared for so long
So long it’s not true
But I rue this day
And I rue you, too

But I knew you in your time
When alarm bells filled your mind
And what was happening was happening
With ten quarters and five dimes
Now there’s not much left to say
It’s just excuses for today
So let’s just save the list for the optimists
Someone said they’re on their way

So some guy once wrote
Betrayal takes two
I guess I outta know
Since I think that’s true

I’m sorry that you
So strange for so long
Can not reanimate
What is already gone

But we could talk right through the night
Under a pitch-black, moonless sky
And what was possible was possible with no one asking why
And I loved you when you ran
'Round in circles, 'round with plans
Without permission or suspicions
You even tolerated slang
