The Room I’m In

[Verse 1]
I kept the coat for the road I declined,
The little blue ticket still tucked in a drawer.
Somewhere a kitchen has my other name,
Somewhere I’m knocking on somebody’s door.

[Chorus]
All those lives I never lived
Still drift past like leaves in rain.
I can miss the doors I didn’t open
And love the room I’m in today.

[Verse 2]
I wonder who I’d be in that far-off town,
With a different laugh and a different view.
But the kettle sings, and you’re calling me back,
And this small, ordinary life is true.

[Chorus]
All those lives I never lived
Still drift past like leaves in rain.
I can miss the doors I didn’t open
And love the room I’m in today.

[Outro]
No need to chase each vanished road;
Your hand is here. My heart can stay.
