This one is a mix. Its a little about me, and a blown opportunity with this fine ass girl i worked with, but also more about seeing a really beautiful girl somewhere. Shes alone and it seems like talking to her would be a great idea, but that last bit of doubt gets you. so you walk out with out making eye contact and then wonder later what might have been. this is a tribute of sorts to that regret that eats away at most men when it comes to missed chances.
lyrics
yo we Sitting having lunch/a fine girly walks by/i happen to glance and we catch each others eye/she shoots a quick smile/and i quickly look down/another blown chance/i mumble with a slight frown/it seems like this happens more than i care to admit/but these beautiful girls just make me lose my shit/and every time I wanna make a move, I just pause/cause that fear of rejection is one horrible flaw/and my boys tell me/fuck it, she can only say no/and if you never even ask/then man/ youll never know/but i go with the safe route/hoping that it plays out/waiting for that day in shadow of doubt/
I shoulda did it when i could/
but I let the chance pass/
Coulda seized the day/
im always living in the past/
Like the smile on the girl i can never forget/
an opportunity replaced with regret.X2
Out at the spot/im steady browsing through books/around the corner pops a girl with all the right looks/long blonde hair/a tight tee and jeans/some sexy ass specs/early twenties and seems/like she got the right mind state/glancing over my way/I make a bees-line for the exit, now im irate/pissed at myself/but I rationalize/that Shes probably tired of getting hit on by random guys/when the truth is/i blew it/I couldnt just do it/going over what i shoulda said but im truant/too late/leave it to fate/a big mistake/now im assed out/hoping for another risk to take/for gods sakes/i need to reshape/and analyze/Cause living with regrets/your never really alive/and the only one i can really blame is me/and the answer was always there/plain to see.
I shoulda did it when i could/
but I let the chance pass/
Coulda seized the day/
im always living in the past/
Like the smile on the girl i can never forget/
an opportunity replaced with regret. X2
