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

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
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

Who can tell ya where the rivers flowin'
Just ride the wave - let it take ya down
All the twists and turns i navigated
It's so frustratin' you were there all the time
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

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...oh where i started from
I know where i'm headed to - it's right back where i've been
