[Verse 1]
Wish you could go back
And change the way you handled
That hard goodbye in the rain
And the words you never said
You held it all too tight
Like a jar with the lid stuck
Now it sits on your chest
When the night gets quiet
[Pre-Chorus]
But the road keeps rolling
And your heart keeps growing
Every bruise, every bend
Has a way of showing
[Chorus]
Wish you could go back
Wish you could go back
But you can’t live there anymore
Wish you could go back
Wish you could go back
So let the lesson open the door
(oh-oh) Let it open the door
[Verse 2]
There’s a coffee ring on the table
And a cracked old picture frame
You trace the edges with your thumb
Like you’re calling out a name
But the blue sky over morning
Doesn’t ask what you regret
It just keeps pouring light
On the life you haven’t met
[Pre-Chorus]
So breathe in the moment
Let the ache unseat you
Every mile behind
Can still teach you
[Chorus]
Wish you could go back
Wish you could go back
But you can’t live there anymore
Wish you could go back
Wish you could go back
So let the lesson open the door
(oh-oh) Let it open the door
[Bridge]
If you could meet that younger you
You’d say, “Baby, I know”
“Take the hit, keep moving”
“Even broken things can grow”
[Final Chorus]
Wish you could go back
Wish you could go back
But you can’t live there anymore
Wish you could go back
Wish you could go back
So let the lesson open the door
(oh-oh) Let it open the door
Wish you could go back
Wish you could go back
And still walk forward wanting more
(oh-oh) Wanting more
