[Verse 1]

You don't know what you got, until you lose it

And I can testify that that's the truth

I had it all and didn't know how to use it

I was so stupid - It was right before my eyes


[Chorus]

Yeah, now I've been lookin' all my life

Waiting for the perfect time

Never knew that I would find it

Right back where I started from

Why'd I have to go so far?

When everything was where you are

How'd I know that you'd be waiting

Right back where I started from


[Verse 2]

Who can tell you where the river's flowing

Just ride the wave - Let it take you down

All the twists and turns I navigated

It's so frustrating, that you were there all the time

(Yeah all the time!)


[Chorus]

Yeah, now I've been lookin' all my life

Waiting for the perfect time

Never knew that I would find it

Right back where I started from

Why'd I have to go so far?

When everything was where you are

How'd I know that you'd be waiting

Right back where I started from

(Oh where I started from)

Ahh I started from here!


[Bridge]

I know where I'm headed to

It's right back where I've been


[Chorus]

I've been looking all my life

Waiting for the perfect time

Never knew that I would find it

Right back where I started from

Ohh, why'd I have to go so far?

When everything was where you are

How'd I know that you be waiting

Right back where I started from

Yeah, where I started from

Oh where I started from

Yeah

Right back there!
