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

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...
