It Wouldn’t Be This

If we had followed everyone's advice We might have had an easier life Maybe a few less sleepless nights But it wouldn't be this We'd have stayed in that same small town Gotten day jobs and settled down Might have more money than we do now But it wouldn't be this Not this broken, finger-crossed and hoping, Lost and never knowing where we're going next Not this perfect, every second worth it, More than we deserve it nothingness Than the little best All the roads that we didn't take They'd have led us to some other place And I'm not saying life wouldn't be great Just wouldn't be this Not this broken, finger-crossed and hoping, Lost and never knowing where we're going next Not this perfect, every second worth it, More than we deserve it nothingness Than the little best If we had followed everyone's advice We might have had an easier life But in my heart it just wouldn't be right 'Cause it wouldn't be this It wouldn't be this
