I wasn't looking for love

Coming round

Walking my own road

Then I heard that laugh across the room

Saw that smile and the whole world slowed

Little run-ins in local spots

Same coffee line

Same old bars

I kept saying 

"funny how we meet"

Never knew you'd been there all along

You were right there all along

In the corners of my days

In the background of my thoughts

Like a line I couldn't place

I was searching everywhere

For the place that I belong

Till your hand fell into mine

You were right there all along 

All the wrong turns

All the lost nights

Every almost

Every goodby

Led me here

To your quiet light

To the truth that was in plain sight 

You were right there all along

In the corners of my days

In the background of my thoughts

Like a line I couldn't place

I was searching everywhere

For the place that I belong

Till your hand fell into mine

You were right there all along 

Summer breeze, voices in the night
Laughing with friends under midnight light
Morning glow, colors of fall
Eagles above - I thought I had it all

Looking back, it all comes alive
The good times, the laughter, the love in my life
Seasons may fade, but the memories remain
The perfect place was the one I left behind
The perfect place was the one I left behind

Empty streets don't feel like home
Every crowd still leaves me alone
Children playing, winter's snow
Flowers blooming where my roots used to grow

Looking back, it all comes alive
The good times, the laughter, the love in my life
Seasons may fade, but the memories remain
The perfect place was the one I left behind
The perfect place was the one I left behind

If I could turn the hands of time
I'd trade these miles for what was mine
The echoes call from every wall
And the place I left was the best of all

Looking back, it all comes alive
The good times, the laughter, the love in my life
Seasons may fade, but the memories remain
The perfect place was the one I left behind
The perfect place was the one I left behind
The place I left... was always mine
