[Intro] I left the porch light on again Though you were gone before the rain [Verse 1] I gave you Sundays, gave you sleep Kept every promise yours to keep Your coat still hangs beside the door I don’t know who I’m waiting for I learned to bend before you asked Made every hurt a thing that passed Now every road divides in two And both of them run back to you [Pre-Chorus] One sign says stay, one sign says leave One holds the life I used to dream My hands are full of what I gave How do I choose what I can save? [Chorus] At the fork where the white lines part I can’t tell fear from a faithful heart I loved you wide, I loved you blind Left too little of myself behind If I turn back, I lose my way If I walk on, I lose what we made Tell me, when every road feels true Which one leads me back to me, not you? [Group Chant] Back to me! Back to me! [Verse 2] Your coffee cup is chipped and blue I still set out a place for two The map is soft from being held The roads all cross where we once fell I know your laugh, your closing door The careful steps across the floor But love can’t be the only thing That makes a life worth living in [Pre-Chorus] One sign says stay, one sign says leave One holds the life I used to dream My hands are full of what I gave How do I choose what I can save? [Chorus] At the fork where the white lines part I can’t tell fear from a faithful heart I loved you wide, I loved you blind Left too little of myself behind If I turn back, I lose my way If I walk on, I lose what we made Tell me, when every road feels true Which one leads me back to me, not you? [Bridge] I don’t need to call you cruel To know I’ve broken my own rules I don’t need to make you small To stop answering every call Maybe care can have a gate Maybe no can come before too late I can miss you and still go Both things can be true, I know [Final Chorus] At the fork where the white lines part I’ll take the road that gives me heart I loved you wide, I loved you long But I was there before the song If I turn back, I know the cost If I walk on, I grieve what’s lost I’ll choose the path I couldn’t see The one that leads me back to me [Choir] Back to me! Back to me! [Outro] The porch light waits; I let it shine For whoever walks this road next time I close the gate, I take my coat And leave one promise in my throat [Soft Vocal] I’ll come back to me
