Like a Fool

I lagged and dragged on a lot of decisions
And sometimes I missed the boat
I lingered for a little too long on some things in life
Then I missed the bus
And it was the longest walk

I procrastinated on the matters that would’ve been good for me
Even as the years seemed to fly by
Then it was like sprinting just to catch up
Only to be out breath and still feel out of time

But Carole assures we should always be glad
For what we had, even if it’s gone
Now as a sit here and listen to those old songs
I feel like a fool for having missed on some opportunities
But happy I took a chance on other ones
