Lyrics
I used to follow your steps like a faithful soldier Never questioned your orders 'Til you showed me the road that you chose Just for the two of us Why did I think that I knew better? Why did I think I could make it on my own? CHORUS This life is full of choices Sometimes I wish we could take 'em back Once what was unknown becomes known The road not taken's makin' Me start to think and stay awake at night The one I took has left me all alone The road not taken's breakin' my heart And I just wanna make it right All I want is to come back home Can I come home? Ran away chasin' grass I thought was greener More a fool than a dreamer Someone too young, too dumb To know which way to go Why did I think that I knew better? Why did I think I could make it on my own? CHORUS Can I come home? Can I come home? Can I come home? CHORUS
