I Could Have Done This Years Ago I never used to take the easy way out I used to run my head through the wall I always found myself be out and about I was never afraid to take a fall Now I have played it safe for so many years I thought I was cool and had no more fears I have been hiding too much too long But I am back now with this song I could have done this years ago I could have done this years ago I should have done this years ago I could have done this years ago So many people are doing their best How can I watch them pass me by I have the feeling that I am failing my test All those lost years are making me cry Life has been treating me well I am safe and secure I simply forgot that I am more I have been hiding and I have gone wrong Now I'm finally back where I belong I could have done this years ago I could have done this years ago I should have done this years ago I could have done this years ago I haven't told you yet of what I have done The way I've been keeping myself down I wanted to escape the challenge of life By hiding away what I have found Now I am setting me free to be all that I am There is nothing else you must understand I cannot hide it the call is too strong It's calling for me and I'm coming along I could have done this years ago I could have done this years ago I should have done this years ago I could have done this years ago © Lennart Hallström 2003 Lennart Hallström: Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Trombone Samuel Gustafsson: Trumpet
