Lesson (Live)

I took a trip the other day 
Found myself at the corner of life and memory lane
Thought that I would see you there
Found myself staring at my feet wondering why I fel the need 
To come back to where you left me 
Is there a lesson I’m still learning? 

You always knew better than that
To go back, unpack, keep track, come back like I do

Decided to better myself
Never thought I’d dive in so deep just to see where I seek something else
Caught an accidental reflection
Never thought that I could perceive all the misconceptions out there of me 
From the other side of the street
Is there a lesson I’m still learning? 

You always knew better than that
To go back, unpack, keep track, come back like I do

As a matter of fact this is more than that
This is me still comparing myself to you
I was holding out for hope that I had somehow grown 
If I had only known myself completely 
Then maybe I could see
There’s a lesson I’m still learning 

You always knew better than that
To go back, unpack, keep track, come back like I do

Like I do….

Like I go back, unpack, keep track, come back like I do… 

Is there a lesson I’m still learning?
