Lookin'

Never had an outlook for what I'd do with my life
When she left her keys and me on the counter
Beneath the stove hood light
They say the sunrise is supposed to bring a new day
But for me it might as well have been a new hell
And a night gone underway
And I hoped
And I prayed

I never believed her leaving who I was
Would make me into who I am
I'd be lying if I tried to tell you
It still don't hurt me now and then
And you can't fight a landslide when you're struggling for air
But there's hope to hold along this road, I read sometime somewhere
I was runnin' out these boots trying to find my footin'
But best things in life come to find ya
When you ain't lookin'

I was walking in the coffee shop to fetch my morning cup
To get me through and get me out of this 9-ing to 5 rut
Whispy hair and untrimmed face, but something caught your eye
Cause when I turned mine in your direction it was over, hand to god
And I sighed (mm)
Oh that smile

I never believed that leaving where I was
Would bring me here to where I am
I'd be lying if I tried to tell you I knew I'd see light again
A tidal wave of hope and grace knocked the weight right out my knees
When I was counted down and out you breathed life in me
I was runnin' out these boots trying to find my footin'
But the best things in life come to find ya
When you ain't lookin'

I've been told when you're healing time'll tell
But staring down that sixty count ain't doing you any help

You'll never believe that leaving who you were
Could bring you here to who you are
Buddy I've got proof that pills and booze won't get you out the dark
And you can't fight a landslide when you're struggling for air
But there's hope to hold along that road, trust me I've been there
If you're runnin' out them boots trying to find your footin'
Hold on
Cause the best things in life come to find ya
When you ain't lookin'
When you ain't lookin'
