This isn't how your story ends, my friends,
It's just a fork along the road
Don't say your prayers, save your amens,
You've come this far but you're still far from home
Don't say goodbye, just say farewell
Write every line you live to tell
Hold your head like Harry, give 'em hell
And as the night ignites the day
Go make some memories along the way
Oh, write your song, sing along, love your life
Learn to laugh, dare to dance, touch the sky
Take pictures each step of the way
Make this the best of the rest of your days
Start your revolution and I'll see you at the reunion
Some friends will go and some will stay,
Okay, some last a chapter, some a page
For some love comes disguised as lust
But you'll find love when you find trust someday
Do better than our parents did
In perfect wealth and wife and kids
Go draw your course then turn it upside down
Go live your life, eyes open wide
Well who's to say what's wrong or right
Right?
Write your song, sing along, love your life
Learn to laugh, dare to dance, touch the sky
Take pictures each step of the way
Make this the best of the rest of your days
I say, go start your own revolution
And I'll see you at the reunion
Well, I'll see you at the reunion
It's just a fork along the road
Don't say your prayers, save your amens,
You've come this far but you're still far from home
Don't say goodbye, just say farewell
Write every line you live to tell
Hold your head like Harry, give 'em hell
And as the night ignites the day
Go make some memories along the way
Oh, write your song, sing along, love your life
Learn to laugh, dare to dance, touch the sky
Take pictures each step of the way
Make this the best of the rest of your days
Start your revolution and I'll see you at the reunion
Some friends will go and some will stay,
Okay, some last a chapter, some a page
For some love comes disguised as lust
But you'll find love when you find trust someday
Do better than our parents did
In perfect wealth and wife and kids
Go draw your course then turn it upside down
Go live your life, eyes open wide
Well who's to say what's wrong or right
Right?
Write your song, sing along, love your life
Learn to laugh, dare to dance, touch the sky
Take pictures each step of the way
Make this the best of the rest of your days
I say, go start your own revolution
And I'll see you at the reunion
Well, I'll see you at the reunion

To me this song, like a few other Bon Jovi songs, is about living life to the fullest. It's about recognizing that no matter the situation you find yourself in, things are destined to get better. "This isn't how your story ends, my friends, it's just a fork along the road" implies the path you take in life isn't a dead end, but capable of branching off into new territory and opportunities. The second verse after the chorus seems to be about how life isn't perfect, and people leave, but an imperfect life is how things are meant to be and is no less worth living, and things can always get better.
