lyrics

Oh, oh funny how you never
Oh, yeah funny how you never
Oh, oh funny how you never
It's all so funny

Funny how you never end up
Where you think you think you going
Left home kinda early with the intention
Of returning
I was burning all my bridges, trying to see the bigger picture
I had this little dream
And I mixed it with some liquor
Go figure
It got bigger as time ticked quicker
The thought of being on stages
Was contagious
For my mental
This idea was born in Denver
It grew with each December
Started as an ember
Then in burned into a vision
No decision
It was vivid
I was living on a mission
Turned off the television
Began emitting fiction
That's when I started I spitting
I knew I could be different
But then I got to thinking
Ay who will even listen

I was chasing something
I knew I'd never find
Two steps back
And I left it all behind
Don't be shy
Come along for the ride
Cause the road up ahead
Has never been so wide
I was chasing something
I knew I’d never find
Two steps back
And I left it all behind
Don't be shy
Come along for the ride
Cause the road up ahead
Has never been so wide

Oh, oh funny how you never
Oh, yeah funny how you never
Oh, oh funny how you never
It's all so funny

It's all so funny, I be like lol
Think about you often, I hope you doing well
To talk is complicated
And I really can't explain it
But I smelled some Jimmy Choo
And I recognized your fragrance
I knew it wasn't you, but the feelings overdue
True, I'm confused
Dropping bombs, get diffused
Wrote a couple songs and I'm trying make it through
Wrote a couple albums and I did it all for you
But it had to for me
So I hope that you can see
That it ain't about the destination but the journey
If I could I would rewind
But then I know
There'd come this time
When you and I, we would decide
That all that's left is to say goodbye
Goddamn, I think I just arrived or something

I was chasing something
I knew I'd never find
Two steps back
And I left it all behind
Don't be shy
Come along for the ride
Cause the road up ahead
Has never been so wide
I was chasing something
I knew I’d never find
Two steps back
And I left it all behind
Don't be shy
Come along for the ride
Cause the road up ahead
Has never been so wide

We were in the studio
One of those late nights
When Ozzy told me
Never trade your chain for a leash
And you texted me the next morning
And told me we'd see each other in Amsterdam
But I just couldn't go
It was time for the next journey
So I guess I’ll catch you when I catch you
Catch you when I catch you
I’ll catch you when I catch you
I’ll catch you when I catch you
All behind
Alright, alright

Let’s get started, drive safe
