Happy in Hindsight

[Verse 1]
I'm looking at a picture of myself of a few years ago
And with what I know now
All I see is a guy in the sun with his thumbs up
But his smile betrays, he’s not having fun
He's consumed by concerns and doubts
While he ain't got all that much he has to worry about
If only I could tell him it will be okay
He doesn’t have to be afraid

[Chorus]
I'm only ever happy in hindsight
Time put everything in a new light
Only ever happy in hindsight
Now I see that everything was alright
Only ever happy in hindsight
Only ever happy in hindsight

[Verse 2]
I'm listening to a record that I made like a few years back
And with what I know now
All I hear is guy in his prime who's complеtely unware he's living through good timеs
He's digging up all his sorrow and pain
While his worries are for nothing and his fears are in vain
If only I could go back and do it again
So I would feel it then

[Chorus]
I'm only ever happy in hindsight
Time put everything in a new light
Only ever happy in hindsight
Now I see that everything was alright
Only ever happy in hindsight
Only ever happy in hindsight

[Bridge]
I'm such a hopeless nostalgic, bliss just always seems to be a month away
I’m such a hopeless nostalgic, sometimes I’m sentimental over yesterday
Over yesterday

[Chorus]
I'm only ever happy in hindsight
Time put everything in a new light
Only ever happy in hindsight
Now I see that everything was alright
Only ever happy in hindsight
Only ever happy in hindsight
Only ever happy in hindsight
Only ever happy in hindsight
Only ever happy in hindsight
