The song is a little sad, the meaning of the lyrics being about regret and remembrance, and the most wondering thing is that Jackson wrote these lyrics when he was just 16 years old.
This is what made the song so unique, that someone so young wrote and interpreted a song about such heavy things in life and had such a good perspective about it.
All the song’s interpretations after Jackson were by aged people or experienced, that could sustain those lyrics.
Some lyrics from Jackson’s interpretation were changed from the original version or omitted, such as a couple of lines about rambling and gambling.
