I'm so glad I hung up the phone
My best friend called
And told me not to go
I'd just get my heart broke one more time
I walked in and there you were
Looking better than I ever remember
Smiling that smile like nothing ever happened
You were never not mine
(Crazy, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know)
Ain't that the way it goes?
Always stumbling into something
Life's an open road
You've gotta take it
If you just let go
Loose your way to find that one thing that you've been missing
You almost missed it all
So glad I turned around
I know where I'd be right now
Somewhere downtown thinking 'bout what could have been
And love would never be again
(Crazy, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know)
Ain't that the way it goes?
Always stumbling into something
Life's an open road
You've gotta take it
If you just let go
Loose your way to find that one thing that you've been missing
You almost missed it all
But I didn't
I turned that car around
Thank God I put that phone down
I'm so glad I didn't listen
Never know what I'd be missing
Ain't that the way it goes?
Always stumbling into something
Life's an open road
You've gotta take it
(Crazy, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know)
Ain't that the way it goes?
Always stumbling into something
Life's an open road
You've gotta take it (You've gotta take it)
If you just let go
Loose your way to find that one thing that you've been missing
(Ain't that) the way it goes?
Always stumbling into something
Life's an open road
You've gotta take it (You've gotta take it)
If you just let go
Loose your way to find that one thing that you've been missing
You almost missed it all
You almost missed it all
You almost missed it all
