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.
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 waitin',
Right back where I started from.
Who can tell ya where the river's flowin',
Just ride the wave - let it take ya down,
All the twists and turns I navigated,
It's so frustratin', that you were there all the time,
Yeah all the time.
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 waitin',
Right back where I started from,
Oh where I started from,
Ahh I started from here.
I know where I'm headed to - it's right back where I've been,
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.
