Hindsight by Johnny & the Box
Hindsight is what I would describe as an 'English, indie country rock ballad'! It is a song about the wisdom that is gained from growing older and the fact that we can all have 20:20 vision when we look in the rear view mirror at our lives.

Lyrics
When I was younger, the world seemed mine
But time it changed my mind
By 20 I was all alone you see
Except for one who meant the world to me
We travelled far, we never felt so free
And it meant all the world to me
If I knew then what i know now
I'd be a better man somehow
I'd keep my feet on solid ground
And I would never let her down
As I grew older temptation came along
Like a fool I did her wrong
I always thought I knew it all
Arrogance was my downfall
If I knew then what i know now
I'd be a better man somehow
I'd keep my feet on solid ground
And I would never let her down
Let her down
Let her down
Let her down
If I knew then what i know now
I'd be a better man somehow
I'd keep my feet on solid ground
And I would never let her down
I'd keep my feet on solid ground
And I would never let her down
