Choices

(album: Not Dead Yet - 2023)

Three hour drives
Are what divide me from my past
When I was young and unafraid
Of all the demons in my head
(You can't escape)
I can't run from my mistakes
(They're scattered all around this place)
I can't live this down again

(We all) leave things behind
(I will) move forward in life

We all hold fast
To our memories of the past
When will regret
Mold me into a better man?
Maybe I just know that I
Could never truly be defined
Any time or any place
Just the choices that I make

The finest line
Divides the future and the past
As I approach I feel each memory
As they come rushing back
(Just know that I)
Time's on my side (Could never forget)
I will follow (All that you've done for me)
This through 'til the end
(A bond that cannot break)

(We all) leave things behind
(I will) move forward in life

We all hold fast
To our memories of the past
When will regret
Mold me into a better man?
Maybe I just know that I
Could never truly be defined
Any time or any place
Just the choices that I make
Maybe time's not on my side
And now I finally realize
Maybe I just needed space
To live the choices that I make

We all fall down
It's how we get up
That makes us realize
We're so much stronger
When we make it out

We all hold fast
To our memories of the past
When will regret
Mold me into a better man?
Maybe I just know that I
Could never truly be defined
Any time or any place
Just the choices that I make
Maybe time's not on my side
And now I finally realize
Maybe I just needed space
To live the choices that I make

(We won't hold back)
Just the choices that I make
(We won't hold back)
Just the choices that I make
(Maybe time's not on my side)
Just the choices that I make
(Maybe time's not on my side)
Just the choices that I make
