I wish I’d learned to play the piano
I wish I hadn’t quit ballet
I wish I hadn’t gotten bangs in sixth grade
But we all do things we don’t mean
I wish I spent more time with my grandparents
I wish I’d stood up for that boy
I wish I hadn’t eaten so much pasta for dinner
But we all do things we don’t mean
I wish I hadn’t cried in the school bathroom
I wish I’d studied for that Iliad test today
I wish I’d gone to bed an hour ago
But we all do things we don’t mean
I wish I hadn’t gotten paint on my favorite shoes
I wish I’d sold more fundraiser cookbooks
I wish I hadn’t shot my mom with a nerf dart
But we all do things we don’t mean
I wish I hadn’t sat in a fire ant bed
I wish I hadn’t gotten two cavities
I wish I hadn’t bought an Enrique Iglesias song
But we all do things we don’t mean
The Titanic didn’t mean to sink
And the Hindenburg didn’t mean to blow
And I didn’t mean to shatter my phone screen
But we all do things we don’t mean
Firefly didn’t mean to get cancelled
And Doctor Who didn’t mean to go downhill*
And I didn’t mean to leave my essay at home
But we all do things we don’t mean
Minions didn’t mean to be annoying
And Icarus didn’t mean to fly into the sun
And I didn’t mean to forget my uncle’s birthday
But we all do things we don’t mean
But that time I slapped my dentist
Back when I was three
That, that is one thing I did mean to do
*looking at you, Moffat
**I now realize a better name for this would’ve been “#noregrets” so #yesregrets on missing that opportunity
