I remember the time, still fresh in my memory
\nAfter all, how can one forget regrets?
\nA senior asking me – wanna learn the guitar?
\nA waste of time, I replied to him
\nand declined his invitation<\/p>\n
Fast forward 3 years, I found myself in a music store
\nLooking for a guitar for my guitar class
\nHoping that I’ll learn it quick enough
\nand regretting saying no when my senior offered<\/p>\n
As I watch Joe Satriani effortlessly jam on the guitar
\nI stand in the audience
\nwondering why I didn’t say yes then<\/p>\n
As I watch my teacher talk about shredding
\nI sit with my guitar strapped to me
\nwondering why I thought it was a waste of time<\/p>\n
As I decide to make compositions
\nI keep exploring on my guitar
\nwondering the 3 years would’ve helped me a lot<\/p>\n
As I decide to play more songs
\nI wonder what the hell I was thinking back then
\nWhat was so important that I abandoned music<\/p>\n
