There are paths you choose along the way
But don't you wonder "what might have been"
If you knew then what you know today
Don't you wonder "what might have been "
If you'd kissed that boy forever
If you hadn't lost the job in the café
If you'd gotten it together
Or if you had thrown it all away
All the lessons learned
All the fingers burned
All the troubles you got out of or got in
Don't you wonder sometimes " what might have been"
Do your sit sometimes and think about
Where you could be now.
If the twists were turns, if the ins were out
Where you could be now
If you'd hitchhiked out of town
If you hadn't had that extra gin
Settled for or settled down
If you hadn't listened to the little voice within
The loves that made you fall
The nights you wowed them all
The times you took it on the chin
Don't you wonder sometimes
What might have been.
But at the time you never see it
How all the doors get opened
You've make your choice you think you know the way
You discover later that the smallest thing can change it
Leading you to where you are today.
So when you're looking back
At luck or destiny
Remember each day is a new way to begin
Some day you'll be looking back here
And will you wonder?
What might have been
