[Verse 1] I pass the old station on my way back home Past the train I never took, the coast I never roamed There’s a room in every almost, a name I didn’t learn I used to count those doorways like debts I had to earn [Pre-Chorus] But the years have kept their weather And I’m standing here, still whole [Chorus] All the lives I didn’t live can rest beside me now Every road I left unopened doesn’t own me anyhow I am here, with both feet planted, with a heart that still can choose Let the ghosts of could-have-beens go home—I have this life to use [Verse 2] I kept the chipped blue mug, the one you gave in spring Some small, unplanned beginning can still become a thing No grand design was waiting, no perfect self to find Just this day, this honest breathing, and the hands that are mine [Pre-Chorus] Maybe I was never missing Maybe I was on my way [Chorus] All the lives I didn’t live can rest beside me now Every road I left unopened doesn’t own me anyhow I am here, with both feet planted, with a heart that still can choose Let the ghosts of could-have-beens go home—I have this life to use [Outro] This life to use This life is mine
