Could've, Would've

by Joko Anwar - I'm a big fan of yours, or your tweets'.

Could’ve been a more productive geek
Would’ve been less broke

Could’ve been learning to play music
Would’ve been making songs more than jokes

Could’ve smoked less
Would’ve been having nicer breath

Could’ve been braver to confess
Would’ve felt less afraid about death

Could’ve been walking more instead of driving
Would’ve been feeling less shitty about myself

Could’ve been wiser
Would’ve had less regrets

Could’ve been smarter
Would’ve had less heartbreaks

Could’ve watch more good movies
Would’ve saved many hours of boredom

Could’ve saved more than spending
Would’ve had a place of my own

Could’ve read more
Would’ve talked more

Could’ve slept more
Would’ve been less sleepy

Could’ve called my father
Would’ve made him talk more than three words a day

Could’ve been less jealous
Would’ve been less restless

Could’ve exercised more
Would’ve been less fat

Could’ve been braver
Would’ve saved the electricity

Could’ve convinced you that I could make you happy
Would’ve been holding you now.

Could've, Would've.
