Where I Was Before

[Verse 1]
I can't get used to what you told me
You said, "Better brace yourself
There's changes coming in"
I wake up to a brand-new story
Stop the clock that's ticking on the shelf
Then let it all begin

[Chorus]
Now I know that I'm right here where I was before
Chasing all my ghosts around
Maybe I worry what I will say
Now I'm only three hours away

[Verse 2]
Living in between the pages
Watching the strangers come and go
Just life that's passing by
It all keeps coming down in stages
Only hurts the ones you know
No matter what you try

[Chorus]
Oh, and now I know that I'm right here where I was before
Chasing songs from town to town
Maybe I worry what I will say
Now I'm only three hours away

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Some things aren't meant to last
Like a day that burns up fast
Turn away and they're gone

[Verse 3]
Wake up to the red sky morning
I pray that the trouble all has passed
Just something that I dreamed
Must have missed all of your warnings
I guess we played too fast
Much closer than it seemed

[Chorus]
Oh, and now I know that I'm right here where I was before
Making all my plans alone
Maybe I worry what I will say
Now I'm only three hours away
Maybe I worry what I will say
Now I'm only three hours away
