текст песни 20/20

I would never have been in such a rush
I would never have tried to control
I would never have worn such 'fear lenses'
I would never have held on so tightly
 
I would have kept my boundaries set
My loving no's, my unwavering yes's
Risked abandonment and stood by that
And thereby felt constant connect
 
This fountain of regret
This looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight
If I knew then what I know now
This mountain of remorse
Won't repeat with my understanding
This wouldn't have happened
If I knew then what I know now
 
I would've gone slower
Pushed infrequent
Would not have rushed into such commitment
I would've shown restraint as my feet got wet
I would've baby-stepped into intimate
 
This fountain of regret
This looking back with twenty-twenty
This torturous hindsight
If I knew then what I know now
This mountain of remorse
Won't repeat with my understanding
This wouldn't have happened
If I knew then what I know now
 
I would've known much more
Known that time was all we had for future
Depth to unfold
I would've had more faith at every step
I would've kept intact through the whole process
 
Oh this fountain of regret
Is looking back with twenty-twenty
Torturous hindsight
If I knew then what I know now
This mountain of remorse
Won't repeat with my understanding
This wouldn't have happened
If I knew then what I know now

Actually 20/20 is called "perfect vision" (although it's possible to have even better scores). The idiom "hindsight is always 20/20" means "it's easy to spot your mistakes after you made them (but often impossible to avoid before)".
