Yeah... it's real shit, y'know? Chur

[VERSE 1]
Now if I could go back to the old school I went to
I'd stab my old best mate in the neck with my pencil
Tell him I've been sent to beat and befriend you
And take back the ninja turtle figures that I lent you
And that ain't vengeful
That's eye for an eye
Payback for times I'd
Hide and I'd cry
Cuz a cold snake
Who I
Identified as a close mate
Threw our
Ties to the side
And found a new cool kid to hang out at school with
I'd sit with my Walkman
Turn up my music
But if I
Could just
Go back in time
I'd find a young me with his notepad of rhymes, and
Sit beside him
Tell him: "Keep writing
No need to be frightened
No need to be like them
Just lay low Tom
Fuck it
So long, be yourself and you won't go wrong"
(Go On!)

[HOOK]
Now I could reminisce and waste my time or I could elevate and change my mind
(Go On!)
Now I could sit around and wait in line or I could get on up and make it mine
(Go On!)
Now I could let it all break my spine or I could move up and say goodbye
(So Long!)
Cuz everybody's got a fate to find, I'm gonna leave my mistakes behind
(And Go On!)

[VERSE 2]
Now if only I could talk to that poor blue dork who thought true love was too strong to fall through
I'd warn him
Before he started falling
I'd storm in
To his bedroom
The first morning she called him
Like bro
Don't answer it
Cmon mate your hearts a bit too soft to form a partnership with somebody who can't commit
Freeze
I'm telling you bro
You're gonna regret it
She's gonna do you over
You're never gonna forget her
So please
Before you're hypnotized from her power
And then a year later heartbroken on the powder
And later down the track picking petals from a flower
And 5 years from that, still writing songs about her
Just chill
Put the phone down, think it through
Before you're in your room, all alone drinking brews, singing ooh
Child, just hold on
Nah, you know what
(Go On!)

[TOM SCOTT]
So, you're always gonna fuck up, you know. So, what's the point of regretting something that made you who you are? Shucks. One life! That's all it is man. Might as well just... You know

(Go On!)

[HOOK]
Now I could reminisce and waste my time or I could elevate and change my mind
(Go On!)
Now I could sit around and wait in line or I could get on up and make it mine
(Go On!)
Now I could let it all break my spine or I could move up and say goodbye
(So Long!)
Cuz everybody's got a fate to find, I'm gonna leave my mistakes behind
(And Go On!)

[VERSE 3]
Now there's never been a single thing I've regretted more
And if I could, I would forget it all, forever more
I'd trade every thought, every third, every fourth
Every broad that I ever called just to let it soar
I'd fight 8 apes
And swim through the Great Lakes
To try take my right fist
Out my best mates face
If I could rewrite
Anything in this life
It would be that night, that sick fistfight
When I lost my pal I'd known my whole life
My bro I know like my soul
From so tight
To cold and no type
A love like that
Makes me cry when I think of how he didn't fight back
But sometimes I wish that he
Had have thrown a fist at me
Then all of this would be history
If I did it differently
But I did it
Now I've gotta live with regret
Praying he'll forgive and forget
He ain't forgiven me yet
[TOM SCOTT]
That's real. That's life, you know. Sometimes shit just doesn't go the way you want it to go. What are you gonna do about it man, what?
Shit, you know

(Go On)

[HOOK]
Now I could reminisce and waste my time or I could elevate and change my mind
