Never Thought to Look

Open house was on a Sunday It's getting harder to pretend People pushing through the door Wearing clothes they can't afford I always said I'd never be like one of them Between the younger years of restless And the settled here and now All these questions that O ask Now that I am looking back I see that What I had was what I found Why did I wish for a better life After everything that I tried I couldn't see it But if I only understood It's the only place I never thought to look Somehow I never even noticed All the beauty in between A simple word, a quiet house A kiss before we fall asleep here on the couch All I have is all I need So why did I wish for a better life After everything that I tried I couldn't see it But if I only understood It's the only place I never thought to look Thought to look Between the younger years of restless And the settled here and now Why did I doubt Why did I wish for a better life After everything that I tried I couldn't see it But if I only understood It's the only place I never thought to look --- Never Thought to Look - David Hodges
