Intro: I’d spend a lot more time out in the pouring rain Without and umbrella Coverin’ my head And I’d stood up to that bully when he pushed And called me names But I was too afraid And I’d gone on and seen Elvis That night he came to town Momma said I couldn’t And I’d gone skinny dipping with Jenny Carson That time she dared me to But I didn’t Oh I I’d done a lot of things different And I wish I’d spent more time with my dad When he was alive Now I don’t have the chance And I wish I had told my brother how much I loved him Before he went off to war But I just shook his hand And I wish I had gone to church on Sunday morning When my grandma begged me to But I was scared of God And I wish I would’ve listened when they said Boy you’re gonna wish you hadn’t But I wouldn’t Oh I I’d done a lot of things different (Chorus:) People say they wouldn’t change a thing Even if they could Oh but I would There was this red dress she wanted one time So bad she could taste it I should’ve bought it but I didn’t She wanted to paint our house yellow And trim it with blues and greens I wouldn’t let her it wouldn’t have hurt nothin’ And she loved to be kissed and held and touched But I didn’t do it not nearly enough And if I’d known that dance was gonna be our last dance I would’ve asked the band to play On and on on and on Oh I I’d done a lot of things different (Chorus:) People say they wouldn’t change a thing Even if they could Oh but I would Oh I I’d done a lot of things different Oh I I’d done a lot of things... I think we’d all do a lot things different Outro:

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque le regret des choix non faits et des occasions manquées. Le narrateur se remémore des moments de sa vie où il aurait souhaité agir différemment, que ce soit en osant affronter des adversités, en passant plus de temps avec des proches ou en étant plus présent dans sa foi. Il évoque aussi des souvenirs d'amour et de tendresse qu'il n'a pas suffisamment exprimés, laissant entrevoir une profonde mélancolie face aux décisions prises — ou non prises — au cours de sa vie. Le contexte de cette réflexion porte sur la nostalgie des relations et des opportunités, et comment ces éléments façonnent notre vécu. Cela soulève une question universelle sur le passage du temps et l'importance d'exprimer nos sentiments avant qu'il ne soit trop tard.
