I spent so much time searchin' Lookin' for somethin' more
Diggin' holes too deep And opening every door And when you stand too close Yeah, the picture's never clear And when you look too far away It all but disappears
And it was right (right) there in front of me (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Just too close for me to see (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) Sometimes the things you want Are not the things you need And it was right there in front of me
There was a time before I didn't know where I belonged I thought I needed more And that I couldn't get along
But who I am Was all I ever needed And when I faced that test I finally succeeded
And it was right (right) there in front of me (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) Just too close for me to see (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) Sometimes the things you want Are not the things you need And it was right there in front of me Oh, whoa-oh, oh-whoa-oh
