A Dark Adapted Heart - Retrospect Lyrics

I remember raindrops on red hair
I remember Bowie on the summer air
But that was then and this is now
You're a distant memory or at least you should be

In retrospect it's easy to see
I should have done things differently
I could have behaved more considerately, I know
But I...

I didn't realise at the time (how badly I was treating you)
I didn't realise at the time

I remember running through the streets
I remember hiding under the sheets
But this is now and that was then
(And you're a part of way-back-when)
You're a thousand miles from me, or at least you should be

I remember those days in Camden Town
That November before the house came down
But this is the present and that's the past
(And time goes by way too fast)
Am I a distant memory, or do you think of me?

In retrospect it's easy to see
I should have done things differently
I could have behaved more considerately, I know

In retrospect it's easy to see
I should have done things differently
I should have thought of you instead of me, I know
But I...

In retrospect I should have had more respect
In retrospect I should have had more respect
In retrospect I should have respected you

In retrospect I should have had more respect
In retrospect I should have had more respect
In retrospect I should have respected you

But I...
I didn't realise at the time (how badly I was treating you)
I didn't realise at the time (how much I'd miss seeing you)
I didn't realise at the time (how badly I mistreated you)
I didn't realise at the time

Oh, no...
