Regret Lyrics by Nightlab

2011

Well, I look to you
I looked in sex
But this is life without context
It’s taken its toll
It daily increases
I'm paying to drive but I’m stopped by police
They ask "What is your name, son? Where are you from?"
But if I knew that, I wouldn’t even have come
Down near crumbling highways
I would’ve just stayed
For down with the day
But I'm looking at regret either way

(Oh, oh)
Looking at regret either way
(Ooh, ooh)

Well, our names are written on the buildings downtown
Designed and constructed with the love we found
But I quickly confused the king and the slave
Well, I pulled out your feathers and I cried with shame

So I raise this city
I burn it down
But ain’t no one lived here for a thousand years now
You don’t know what to say
But you can’t turn away
You shouldn’t have stayed
But you’re looking at regret either way

(Oh, oh)
Looking at regret either way
(Ooh, ooh)

Well it’s been some time since I could tell
The difference between the sound of a bell
And the bell itself
Oh, but that ain’t my future
Just ‘cause you got noble thoughts
Don’t mean you can change nature
So, I dance on ruins
I tear down the halls
‘Cause that love that I gave you
That wasn’t love at all
The skies change
It’s startin’ to rain
I’d ask you to stay
But I

(Oh, oh)
Looking at regret either way
(Oh, oh)
Looking at regret either way
(Oh, oh)
Looking at regret either way
(Oh, oh)
Looking at regret either way
(Oh)
