#unscramble
Life comes and goes The person you are now could be someone that everyone back then would walk right past and never even know You could take your compass heart north and let it lead you for the better Or you could go down south and let it tear your very name up, letter by letter You could choose the love of your life or the love of the night That would be gone by the next day And you woke up alone wondering why you just didn't stay You keep walking, hoping that your family is still where you left them that day But you forgot that the letters that made up your name aren't what they used to say And maybe they would take you back with open arms Maybe they would give you the love you forgot in the midst of your own ocean storms Maybe they would tell you the jokes you missed out on while you were shipwrecked and your compass broke Maybe they would remember your name and help you rebuild it even though the last letter is barely hanging on, like a tattered edge of a rope Life always gives you a choice, it's not just one or two. There's numerous paths to go on, what're you going to choose? Are you going to let a town beat you down until you aren't you? Or are you going to overcome the obstacles and make it out alive and see this battle on through? And your Name was always known Though, who's to say the letters make any sense How can we fix the way you willingly let your ship get Overthrown? No, our hearts are passed being punched and kicked You can't Unscramble this
