[Intro]

I wish we got hindsight for literally this moment right now

So that I can appreciate it for a minute


[Verse 1]

It's not always black and white

Goodbyes work only half the time

My favorite pastime is a crooked line

Between now and reliving a past life


[Pre-Chorus]

Really wish that I could look backwards

Put the car in reverse and look at me now


[Chorus]

Everything looks better in the rearview

With a little hindsight, hindsight

20/20 vision only comes through

With a little hindsight, hindsight


[Post-Chorus]

Hindsight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Hindsight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)


[Verse 2]

I get the fear of missing out

I'm kinda stuck in a roundabout of memories

I'm overdrawn and I'm losing count

If I'm guessing, I'm heading for a breakdown


[Pre-Chorus]

Reminisce too much to look forward

I get out of reverse when I know it's true


[Chorus]

Everything looks better in the rearview

With a little hindsight, hindsight

20/20 vision only comes through

With a little hindsight, hindsight


[Post-Chorus]

Hindsight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Hindsight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)


[Bridge]

Can't lie, it's a state of mind

I'm too delicate to vacate it, mm

Can't lie, it's a state of mind

It's all innocent 'til you can't quit, mm


[Chorus]

Everything looks better in the rearview

With a little hindsight, hindsight

20/20 vision only comes through

With a little hindsight, hindsight


[Post-Chorus]

Hindsight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Hindsight

Hindsight (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
