What I Found

Verse 1

I had a five-year plan in a notebook page

Everybody said, “You’re gonna be okay.”

Kept my future folded in my back pocket

Never thought I’d ever change the topic

Checked every box they handed me

Still felt like something was missing underneath

Then one day everything got rearranged

Funny how one moment changes everything

Pre-Chorus

They said,

“Don’t throw your whole life away.”

I said,

“You don’t know what I’ve seen.”

Chorus

You only see what I walked from

You never saw what I found

You only count what I gave up

You never felt what I found

Everybody thinks I’m crazy

Maybe I’d think that too

If all I ever saw…

Was what I walked from

Instead of what I found

Verse 2

Some people quit returning calls

Some said I’d hit the hardest fall

Some were waiting for me to come back around

Like happiness was something I’d misplaced somehow

But every morning when I wake

There’s a peace that nothing else could fake

I would’ve missed it if I’d stayed

Holding onto everything I couldn’t take

Pre-Chorus

They ask,

“Was it really worth it?”

Every single time…

Chorus

You only see what I walked from

You never saw what I found

You only count what I gave up

You never felt what I found

Everybody thinks I’m crazy

Maybe I’d think that too

If all I ever saw…

Was what I walked from

Instead of what I found

Bridge

I didn’t lose my future

I found one.

I didn’t trade down

I traded up.

Sometimes the best things in this life

Don’t make sense

Until you see them

For yourself.

Final Chorus

You only see what I walked from

You never saw what I found

Final Chorus

You only see what I walked from

You never saw what I found

You only count what I gave up

You never saw what I found

If you could see it for a second

You’d do the same thing too

‘Cause once you’ve found

Something worth everything…

You don’t spend your life

Counting the cost.

You spend it

Running toward the treasure.
