If I was seventeen
I'd redo everything
Is that just lip service
Do I mean any word of it

Decisions made, I chose a path
Some feel fleet and some will last
Living life is a straight line
There's no turning back the time

Always
Always

Always
Always

In times like these
We analyze
We pick apart our very lives
Oh what could I've become
If my fears had not won

So make a box of pine straight wooden slates
Nailed with iron and held so fast
Lined with silk and stuffed with down
A pillow fit for a crown

Always
Always

Always
Always

Take all your love and all you lack
And stuff it all into a sack
Dig a hole that's far and deep
The better for the soul to keep

Yeah times like these we analyze
We pick apart our very lives
Oh what could I've become
If my fears had not won

Always
Always
(always)
Always

(always)
(always)
(always)

(always)
(always)
(always)

Always
Always
Always
