[Verse 1] I kept a key for a town I never chose A paper map folded beneath my clothes Somewhere I’m dancing, somewhere I stayed Somewhere I said the brave thing that day [Pre-Chorus] I grieve those doors like rooms I knew Then turn and find this life came through [Chorus] All the lives I didn’t live Still gather softly at my side I can love the roads I missed And let this one be mine I’m not a shadow of a maybe I’m here, breathing, getting by All the lives I didn’t live Can rest; this life is mine [Verse 2] There’s a summer I left in a stranger’s town A name I almost wore, then laid back down I bless the hands that let them go They brought me here, to what I know [Bridge] No perfect choice could make me whole No other self could hold this soul I meet the morning where I am And take my own life by the hand [Final Chorus] All the lives I didn’t live Can stand beside me, not decide I can love the roads I missed And still enjoy this side I’m not a shadow of a maybe I’m here, breathing, open-eyed All the lives I didn’t live Can rest; this life is mine [Outro] This life is mine This life is mine
