[Verse 1]
You drew maps on napkins
I kept counting all the ways it could go wrong
Tickets in my browser
Close the tab and tell myself “maybe later on”
Same bar
Same barstool
Laughing like we’re happy in this little loop
Phone light on your face
You say
“One day
We gotta move”
[Pre-Chorus]
Every “someday” that we saved
Is just a ghost that knows my name
[Chorus]
In the end
We only regret the chances we didn’t take
All the words we never said
All the roads we let fade
I don’t wanna sit and stare at photos that feel fake
In the end
We only regret the chances we didn’t take
So I’m taking you
I’m taking you
Right now
Before it’s late (hey!)
In the end
We only regret the chances we didn’t take
[Verse 2]
Clock-out
Same Monday
Talk big dreams on a ten-minute coffee break
You say
“Let’s just drive
Babe
Miss the exit
Keep it straight until it breaks”
I see your hand shaking
Mine too
But I still grab the keys
Heart loud
Ground quaking
Parking lot feels like a starting street
[Pre-Chorus]
Every “maybe” that we made
Is just a chain we choose to break
[Chorus]
In the end
We only regret the chances we didn’t take
All the nights we stayed at home
All the hearts we let ache
I don’t wanna tell my fear
It gets to call every play
In the end
We only regret the chances we didn’t take
So I’m taking you
I’m taking you
Right now
Whatever it takes (oh!)
In the end
We only regret the chances we didn’t take
[Bridge]
What if we miss?
What if we fall?
What if that’s still
Better than nothing at all?
What if this kiss
Changes it all?
Only one way
To know
[Chorus]
In the end
We only regret the chances we didn’t take
All the words we never said
All the roads we let fade
I don’t wanna sit and stare at photos that feel fake
In the end
We only regret the chances we didn’t take
So I’m taking you
I’m taking you
Right now
Before it breaks
In the end
We only regret the chances we didn’t take
