When you've come to a fork in the road
You can almost taste it
And never knowing which way to go
It's nothing tested
All alone you try to take it, to fake it
And there's a road less traveled taken
Or forsaken

Now
It's up to you
The path that you choose
Gotta do something different
Now
It's all the same
No one to blame
Gotta do something different
Now

So you head down the road that you chose
Just to pushing forward
And the window is trying to close
Just to shut you out
And all alone you try to take it, to fake it
And there's the road less traveled taken
Or forsaken

Now
It's up to you
The path that you choose
Gotta do something different
Now
It's all the same
No one to blame
Gotta do something different

Something different

It's up to you
The path that you choose
Gotta do something different
Now
It's all the same
No one to blame
Gotta do something different

Now
It's up to you
The path that you choose
Gotta do something different
Gotta do something different
Now
