Hindsight Songtext
von Rosie Tucker

Jesse killed himself
And I don′t know how he did it
And I don't know how to miss him
Cause we haven′t talked since
Jesse kissed me on the mouth
And I said Jesse I don't feel that way about you

And I will not think about
Jesse's crappy minivan
Or skipping class to play guitars
Or inventing secret handshakes
And I will not think about
The way that I stopped answering his calls

Someone should shake that kid
Someone should wake him up
Someone should hold him like
I said I never would


But even if they did
Would it have been enough?
Oh all the hindsight in the world
Can′t do Jesse any good

Well Jesse killed himself
And I cannot get to sleep
I′ve been lying here for hours
But I wouldn't call it grief

Cause Jesse did what he did
And it was not about me
And that′s the story that I'll stick with
Oh I′ve got to believe it

And I will not think about
How it doesn't make much sense
How one morning Jesse′s breathing
And the next he is past tense

And how
It all amounts to picking out a black dress
And talking quietly to people from my high school

Someone should shake that kid
Someone should wake him up
Someone should hold him like
I said I never would


But even if they did
Would it have been enough?
Oh all the hindsight in the world
Can't do Jesse any good

I wanna shake that kid
I wanna wake him up
I wanna hold him like I said I never would
But I'm a hypocrite
And these are crocodile tears
Cause all the sorrow in the world
Can′t do Jesse any good

Well Jesse killed himself
And I don′t know how to feel
It's like the time between a punch and a bruise

And I am mad as hell
And this isn′t an excuse but Jesse
Living is the hardest thing
Anyone has ever tried to do
