Split Decision

The train has left the station
No one's sitting on the seat that I reserved
There's a docket with my name on
Someone my guest that seat is going spare
I know what you'll be saying, this is my worst mistake
I had a chance to build a future and I've thrown it all away
You could be right, she could be wrong
But it was always hanging on a split decision

There are choices that you make most every day
And they don't mean too much at all
You take the bus or drive, you drink coffee or you don't
An easy call
But there are choices that will turn your world around
You have no way of knowing how those choices will work out
They could be right they could be wrong
sometimes it's hanging on a split decision

The girl you didn't marry, the timing wasn't right
The job you didn't take, the fight you didn't fight
The roads you didn't walk that keep you wide awake at night
The ghosts of people that you might have been
All the places that you've never seen

Each decision that you make is something gained
But also something lost
So you weigh the ups and downs, the pros the cons
The benefits and costs
Until there's nothing else to do but make your stand
Roll the dice and wait to see just how they land

And I've made my choice, I didn't catch that train
that was going back to you
I'm so
sorry but I've made my choice, I didn't catch that train
home to you
It might be right it might be wrong but it was always hanging on a split decision
It might be right it might be wrong but it was always hanging on a split decision
