If I Don't Make It Home

First day of the rest of my life
Started on the day that I die
Oh I remember thinking it kinda figured
I had a chip on each shoulder put the rest on red
I bet the farm just to end up dead
Oh well I had to try it's the story of my life

If I don't make it home
I wrote a list of things I needed to say
But trembling hands let the wind carry it away

If i don't make it home it'd be so sad
To go through all of this
And come out empty-handed
Leaving so much unsaid
Like there never was a reason at all
Why I was lost
If I don't make it home

Looking back on the sum of my days
I had no regrets is what I'm supposed to say
But if you really wanna know the truth
I never could lie to you
I keep my regrets where I keep your name
On the top shelf by the picture frame
There's a note I left In the picture
I wasn't brave enough to give ya

If I don't make It home
I compose my thoughts
Of what you needed to hear me say
But the north wind took my last breath away

If i don't make it home it'd be so sad
To go through all of this
And come out empty-handed
Leaving so much unsaid
Like there never was a reason at all
Why I was lost
If I don't make it home

The first day of the rest of my life
I should have been scared
Cause everything was fine
Days like this don't come free

If i don't make It home
I left a key for ya
It's for ya under the mat
Go head wipe ya feet
Loose your coat and hat
Put some coffee on
Make yourself at home
The wifi password is Veritas
I thought I stored it I'm your phone
In case I got lost and I don't make it home

If i don't make it home it'd be so sad
To go through all of this
And come out empty-handed
Leaving so much unsaid
Like there never was a reason at all
Why I was lost
If I don't make it home
