[Intro Hook First, music only— upbeat strong tambourine solo] [Verse 1] I've taken roads just to see where they go, Some lasted years, some were gone before I know. I've met good people, I've watched some move on, And every chapter had its own kind of song. [Verse 2] Some stayed beside me for most of the ride, Some were only there for a moment in time. Some changed my world, some simply passed through, But every one of them left something true. [Pre-Chorus] I don't look back and wish things were the same, I don't hold on to what has changed. Life keeps moving, and so do I, No need to question every goodbye. Ooooo [Chorus] I wouldn't change it, not a single thing, Not the highs or the lows that each year can bring. Every road, every face, every place I've been, Every door that opened, every one that didn't. Some stayed for years, some only for a while, Some left a lesson, some left a smile. I wouldn't change it, now I can see, Every part of it made me who I am today. Ooooo [Verse 3] I've had days when the whole world felt right, And nights when I couldn't make sense of the night. I've chased the sun and I've sat through the rain, I've lost things I loved and found something again. [Verse 4] I've lived in places that still feel like home, I've travelled roads where I ended up alone. I've watched the seasons come and disappear, And somehow I'm standing right here. [Chorus] I wouldn't change it, not a single thing, Not the highs or the lows that each year can bring. Every road, every face, every place I've been, Every door that opened, every one that didn't. Some stayed for years, some only for a while, Some left a lesson, some left a smile. I wouldn't change it, now I can see, Every part of it made me who I am today. Ooooo [Bridge — stripped back] Nothing was wasted, nothing was wrong, Some things were short and some lasted long. I don't need to know why everything changed, I was there for the moment, and that's what remains. [Final Chorus — warm, emotional, gradually opening] I wouldn't change it, not the road behind, Not the things I lost or the things I found in time. Every person, every place, every turn along the way, Was exactly what I needed for that particular day. Some stayed for years, some faded from view, But I wouldn't erase a single one of them too. I wouldn't change it, and now I understand, All of it together made me who I am. [Outro — acoustic guitar, ocean ambience] Some things stay, some things go, That's just the way this life can flow. I don't need to change what brought me here, I wouldn't change it... Not a single year.
