[Verse 1] You left your blue scarf at the station Your silver ring beside the sink I kept each promise like a station Where every train could stop and think You said my name like it was shelter Then took the county road at dawn I gave my heart away in handfuls And wondered why the map was gone [Pre-Chorus] Now every mile has your handwriting Every sign points somewhere new I can’t keep calling every turning A road that leads me back to you [Chorus] I’m at the fork where the old pines lean With a pocket full of almosts and a heart between One road says stay where the hurt feels known One road says walk till I’m my own I gave too freely, I gave too wide Now every path has a piece of my life Tell me, heart, when the signs all divide Which road is mine? Which road is mine? [Verse 2] There’s Mara by the harbor window There’s Jonah with the Sunday bread There’s your old key beneath the flowerpot And all the things I never said I called it kindness, called it courage To leave one door unlatched for all But love can turn to open water When I forget where my banks should fall [Pre-Chorus] Now every mile has your handwriting Every sign points somewhere new I can’t keep calling every turning A road that leads me back to you [Chorus] I’m at the fork where the old pines lean With a pocket full of almosts and a heart between One road says stay where the hurt feels known One road says walk till I’m my own I gave too freely, I gave too wide Now every path has a piece of my life Tell me, heart, when the signs all divide Which road is mine? Which road is mine? [Bridge] Maybe the answer isn’t choosing Who gets the whole of me tonight Maybe a hand can hold its promise And still let go without a fight I’ll take the road that asks me honestly What I can give and what I need I’ll stop mistaking open borders For a heart that has to bleed [Group Chants] Keep your name! Keep your ground! Turn around! Turn around! [Final Chorus] I’m at the fork where the old pines lean But I’m not every road I’ve ever been One road holds love, one road holds home I can choose and still not walk alone I gave too freely; now I give with care A whole heart isn’t a heart laid bare Tell me, heart, as the signs fall aside I’ll take the road that feels like mine [Outro] The blue scarf waits by the station door I don’t have to carry it anymore At the fork, as the morning arrives I choose the road that keeps me alive
