"Then I Did" lyrics

I thought about calling you when I got off the plane
Every time I see this city through the clouds, I get that way
Call me crazy for missing you like this, but I do
By now I figured you had all your numbers changed
It's been at least a year since I called you up to say
"We need to talk, I got this job and I think I'm going to take it"

Because I been waiting all my life for a break like this
It's my chance of a lifetime, I just know it is
"I gotta go find these dreams" was the last thing that I said
And then I did

I can see clear to the mountains as I head up our old street
I remember how we'd call in sick on days like these
And turn the music up, roll the windows down and just drive
You talked me outta givin' up on myself so many times
Convinced me to get in while I could regrets hang heavy on the mind
But you never doubted me
You kept pushing me

Saying "You've been waiting all your life for a break like this
It's your chance of a lifetime, you just know it is
You gotta go find those dreams" was the last thing that you said
And then I did

But you were wrong
Love was what I wanted all along
And now you're gone
I thought about calling you when I got off the plane
Every time I see this city through the clouds, I get that way

But you were wrong
Love was what I wanted all along, oh yeah
But you were wrong
Yeah, love was what I wanted all along
'Cause I've been waiting all my life
You gotta go and find those dreams (Find those dreams)
You gotta go and find those dreams
Find those dreams (Love was what I wanted, love was what I wanted)
You've been waiting all your life
