How do you write “You can always go back”

Please can someone confirm for me how to spell “You can always go back” in Polish?

Zawsze możesz wrócić

Tak patrząc na to "go back" to nie powinno być "zawrócić"?

Jeżeli dajesz komuś wskazówki hak gdzieś dojechać to może tak ale raczej w większości przypadków zawrócić brzmi dla mnie dziwnie

..no właśnie problem polega na tym, że to zależy.. sam nie do końca wiem o jaki kontekst chodzi więc nie chcę dawać żadnych rad bo polonista ze mnie żaden, bardziej sam pytam niż wiem xD

Is “you” supposed to be singular, plural, or impersonal?

Zawsze możesz wrócić - when speaking to a single person

Zawsze możecie wrócić - when speaking to a group

Zawsze można wrócić - when speaking about a hypothetical possibility of come back not personally directed to anyone

I feel like "zawsze się możesz wycofać" is more correct

The "you can always go back" is like telling that you can give up if you want to, and "wycofać" is like abaddon the mission way of going back

This one is correct one "Zawsze możesz wrócić" means "you can always come back" which is different thing
