VERSE 1
I could've worked a whole lot harder 
Could've forged ahead, rather than just Ddrifted through 
Could've been so keen there'd be so much to Gdo 
---------------------
VERSE 2
I found a locked door labelled déjà Cvu 
Every lGocked door cost me dearly 
As DI look back, I see that's how I Ggrew 
And the Done mistake I didn't make was Gyou 
---------------------
VERSE 3
Always thought the sinners better than the Dsaints could be 
Always felt that levitation was too Gmuch for me
---------------------
VERSE 4
Decided that I didn't have a Cclue 
They all Gthought it cost me dearly 
As DI look back, I see that's how I Ggrew 
And the Done mistake I didn't make was Gyou

BRIDGE
I didn't Cmake that big misGtake 
Though I A7made a lot of small ones 
Made a Dlot of trip and fall ones 
Now we're Cfree, that's histoGry 
So let's A7take our time don't hurry 
There's no Dneed for all that worry

VERSE 5
'Cause I'll Gnever be a grafter
I just need to hear your laughter in the Dafternoon 
Let it all be as it seems, just one long Ghoneymoon

VERSE 6
They can have the whole damn world till payment’s Cdue 
It'll Gcost them all so dearly 
For there's Donly so much time as we pass Gthrough
And the Done mistake I didn't make was Gyou 
It'll Gcost them all so dearly 
For there's Donly so much time as we pass Gthrough
And the Done mistake I didn't make was Gyou
