I’d Do It All Again

I took the long way, missed a few signs

Trusted the wrong hearts at the wrong times

I stayed too long, I ran too fast

Tried to hold on to things that couldn’t last

I’ve been the girl who didn’t know

When to stay and when to let go

But every wrong turn, every goodbye

Put another little fire in my eyes

So don’t ask me what I’d change

I wouldn’t take a thing away

I’d do it all again

Every fall, every friend

Every stupid little choice

That helped me find my voice

Every tear, every scar

Every wish upon a star

I don’t need to know how this story ends

I just can’t wait to see what happens next

There were summers I forgot to live

People I loved with too much to give

Dreams that broke right in my hands

And new ones I still don’t understand

Some people stayed, some disappeared

Some still feel close after all these years

And maybe that’s the funny part

They all left fingerprints upon my heart

No, I wouldn’t rewrite a page

Even the ones that brought me pain

I’d do it all again

Every fall, every friend

Every stupid little choice

That helped me find my voice

Every tear, every scar

Every wish upon a star

I don’t need to know how this story ends

I just can’t wait to see what happens next

Maybe I’ll get lost again

Maybe I’ll trust the wrong person

Maybe I’ll break another dream

And find out it wasn’t meant for me

Maybe the best is still ahead

In words I haven’t even said

In people I haven’t met just yet

In nights I’ll never want to forget

So bring it on—

I’m not done yet

I’d do it all again

From the start to where I am

Every beautiful mistake

Every road I had to take

Every laugh, every scar

They all brought me where we are

And if tomorrow’s waiting just around the bend

God, I can’t wait to see what happens next

I don’t regret the road behind

It wasn’t perfect — but it was mine

And there’s so much I haven’t seen yet

So here’s to whatever happens next.
