[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!
