[Verse 1] I learned to say forever with a suitcase by the door Left pieces of my name in rooms I don't visit anymore I gave my best yes to a hundred almosts Kept every promise like a key I couldn't toss [Pre-Chorus] Then you arrived with nothing left to spend And every road I'd taken bent toward you again [Chorus] If I had another life, I'd find you there With open hands and time enough to spare But this one keeps me boxed behind the things I swore I watch the love I was made for walk out the door If I had another life, another try I'd get to you before goodbye [Verse 2] Your laugh came through the doorway like a song I almost knew I held my breath, already bound to what I said I'd do No villain, no mistake to blame it on Just years of being needed, and the years already gone [Pre-Chorus] You looked at me like I could still be free I wanted to say, “Come build a life with me” [Chorus] If I had another life, I'd find you there With open hands and time enough to spare But this one keeps me boxed behind the things I swore I watch the love I was made for walk out the door If I had another life, another try I'd get to you before goodbye [Bridge] Maybe somewhere I arrive with nothing owed No borrowed vows, no crowded road I turn toward you before the years begin And get to choose the life we're standing in [Final Chorus] If I had another life, I'd find you there With open hands and time enough to spare But this one keeps me boxed behind the things I swore I watch the love I was made for walk out the door If I had another life, another try I'd get to you before goodbye If I had another life— I'd spend it by your side [Outro] I'd spend it by your side
