L'esprit De L'escalier (The Staircase)

If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
I'd still find a way to mess it up somehow, Hey

Shit-talker! You'll get it in the end
The right retort was better in your head
The best words always come too late
The best you can do is extrapolate

If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
I'd still find a way to mess it up somehow, Hey

What could have been if I'd said the right words
Would I have been happier? Would I be free of hurt
Gotta live with the past to maintain the present
But would it haven been better with a different transgression

If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
I'd still find a way to mess it up somehow, Hey

In the back of my head
I think I'm still out of luck
Cause despite all my comebacks
I know that I'm still fucked

If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
I'd still find a way to mess it up somehow

If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
If I knew then what I know now
I'd still find a way to mess it up somehow

If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then
If I knew then what I know now
I'd still find a way to mess it up somehow, Hey
