[Verse 1] I spent my yes in a dozen hands, Made forever sound easy to say. Then you arrived with your quiet truth, And all my vows had already been paid. [Pre-Chorus] Now every promise holds me fast, While something right goes drifting past. [Chorus] If I could live one life again, I’d save the truest part for you. I’d meet you before I gave it all, Before my word became a wall. If time would turn, I’d choose you then— I’d spend another life with you. [Verse 2] You came like daylight through a hard year, No grand rescue, just seeing me clear. I watched your future open wide, With both hands full of the life I tied. [Pre-Chorus] I’m caught inside the things I swore, You’re everything I waited for. [Chorus] If I could live one life again, I’d save the truest part for you. I’d meet you before I gave it all, Before my word became a wall. If time would turn, I’d choose you then— I’d spend another life with you. [Bridge] Maybe somewhere, in another skin, I haven’t made those promises yet. You look at me, I’m free to begin— I’d find you there without regret. [Final Chorus] If I could live one life again, I’d save the truest part for you. I’d meet you before I gave it all, And let the old years lose their hold. If time would turn, I’d choose you then— I’d spend another life with you.
