When you find yourself
In some far off place
And it causes you
To rethink some things
You start to sense that slowly
You're becoming someone else
And then you find yourself
When you make new friends
In a brand-new town
And you start to think
About settling down
The things that would have been lost on you
Are now clear as a bell
And you find yourself
Yeah, that's when you find yourself
Where you go through life
So sure of where you're headin'
And you wind up lost
And it's the best thing that could have happened
'Cause sometimes when you lose your way
It's really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah, that's when you find yourself
When you meet the one
That you've been waitin' for
And she's everything
That you want and more
And you look at her and you finally start
To live for someone else
And then you find yourself
Yeah, that's when you find yourself
When we go through life
So sure of where we're headin'
And then we wind up lost
And it's the best thing that could have happened
'Cause sometimes when you lose your way
It's really just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah, that's when you find yourself
