Downshifting - Harvey Andrews, Graham Cooper

Written by：Harvey Andrews

I could've worked

A whole lot harder

Could've listened to my father

Could've forged ahead rather than just drifted through

Could've been a top man somewhere

Could've done that lived that dream there

Could've been so keen there'd be so much to do

I made mistakes that led me nowhere

Mistakes that made me go where

I found a locked door labelled deja vu

And tho I see so clearly

Every locked door cost me dearly

As I look back I see that's how I grew

And the one mistake I didn't make was you

I wouldn't network with the winners

Wouldn't get beyond beginners

Always thought the sinners better than the saints could be

I wouldn't join the corporation

Wouldn't rise up

To their station

Always felt that levitation was too much for me

I couldn't solve the big conundrum

So I settled for the humdrum

Decided that I didn't have a clue

And tho I see so clearly

They all thought it cost me dearly

As I look back I see that's how I grew

And the one mistake I didn't make was you

I didn't make

That big mistake

Though I made a lot of small ones

Made a lot of trip and fall ones

Now we're free

That's history

So let's take our time don't hurry

There's no need for all that worry

'Cause I'll never be a grafter

It's not money that I'm after

I just need to hear your laughter in the afternoon

I'm not chasing any dream now

Haven't got the perfect scheme now

Let it all be as it seems just one long honeymoon

Oh they can drive their big mercedes

On their journey down to hades

They can have the whole d**n world till payments due

Because now I see so clearly

It'll cost them all so dearly

For there's only so much time as we pass through

And the one mistake I didn't make was you

Because now I see so clearly

It'll cost them all so dearly

For there's only so much time as we pass through

And the one mistake I didn't make was you
