Sometimes I wonder if I could Would I take it back All the beers I threw up Would I quit or would I drink to that All the hearts I've broke and times I smoked In my parents basement at home I wonder if I'd change a thing Or would I leave it all alone Would it make a difference If they didn't give me stitches I went back in time and had a second life To try and do it better. Could I do it right? All these what ifs, woulda', coulda', shoulda' been's Living in our hearts and running through our heads I wonder if we got to do it all again If we would make the choice to be some better men Sometimes I wonder If these parties together Were trading pain for some pleasure I mean I hardly remember And if we didn't get wasted Then would our lives turn out better Would we have made it way farther Or never dealt with depression Sometimes I wonder late at night If we screwed up at least we tried But I still wonder who we could've been If we all went back in time Sometimes I wonder just one question Would you change even one second Did our mistakes make us who we are Or do you now regret 'em? I must've made the perfect mistakes The bad days were worth it They made me brave I'm a different person today I might've screwed it up along the way But I must've made the perfect mistakes Sometimes I wonder if I could Would I change the past Get to work on time And maybe try not to be late for class Would I take it slow Or would I raise a glass And take it fast Keep racing past the rainy days Erase the sad And head straight to what made me laugh What could we have made happen If we stopped chasing those dragons Coulda' been president Coulda' had mansions Coulda' been an astronaut and found planets All the minutes, seconds, moments we forget We were never present Wondered what was next I wonder if we got to do it all again If we would make the choice to be some better men Sometimes I wonder 'bout the way we were living We really thought we were grown-ups But, dammit, we were still children We didn't know those decisions Would slowly become addictions But if we had a second shot I don't know what we'd do different Cause our mistakes taught us lessons We lost our jobs, got arrested Got caught with pot in our dresses And fought a lot for our friendships Those years were awful and messy They're super awkward at best it's All part of who we were When we were young, dumb and reckless I must've made the perfect mistakes The bad days were worth it They made me brave I'm a different person today I might've screwed it up along the way But I must've made the perfect mistakes All the times that we put it on the line And we fought until we couldn't Then we left it all behind All the times we survived When we probably shoulda' died I still don't regret it They were the best days of my life All the times that we cried And we put it on the line And we fought until we couldn't Then we left it all behind All the times we survived When we probably shoulda' died I still don't regret it They were the best days of my life I must've made the perfect mistakes The bad days were worth it They made me brave I'm a different person today I might've screwed it up along the way But I must've made the perfect mistakes
