Built to Spill - Hindsight

Hindsight's given me
Too much memory
There's too much never seen
But it's always there
It's everywhere

Taking my own advice
Worked out for me nice
Now I've come to find
The tricks we play
With human brains

They don't wanna think about the other side
Is that grass just greener 'cause it's fake

'Cause that's all we've been told
Since we were five years old
Is that all we'll ever know

Hindsight brings me down
Keeps me on the ground
Though I'm never proud
I wouldn't dare if you weren't there

Think we're getting up
Feels like giving up
Feels like not enough
You eat a crumb and waste a loaf

They don't wanna talk about the other side
Where the grass was greener than they said

This doesn't bring to mind
What I'd expect to find
They must be colorblind

What about Canada

What about Canada
This paradise with pines and ice
Morning comes in freight ships while you're sleeping
Batting two ideas with no surprise

Wait 'til the wild has rights
Then never lock doors at night
Kiss all those wars goodbye
