Lyrics

You Just Thought You Did

© David Rintoul

Verse 1

Lightly drifting, freely floating, gently down the stream,
Made you think the world was always just the way it seemed.
You would never think about things that lay in store,
In your mind, you knew you held the key to every door.

Chorus

You looked inside your crystal ball and the world seemed crystal clear.
You knew each bend and winding turn down the road that led from here.
You never saw that sudden curve and from that road you slid.
You never knew the way ahead,
You just thought you did.

Verse 2

It?s not easy, cast adrift and now you?ve lost your way.
Bet you thought that you would never live to see this day.
Suddenly your confidence has all turned into fear.
Nothing seems to make much sense now, nothing seems quite clear.

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

Learn how to grow and be strong.
Good things can sometimes go wrong.
But, on your soul?s blackest night,
Bad things can sometimes go right.

Verse 3

I don?t know why you can?t admit that you just didn?t know.
Did you think that you?d decide the way your life should go?
You can?t see the way ahead, you?ve shattered all your plans.
Pick the pieces up again and leave the rest to chance.

(Repeat Chorus)

Coda

Nobody knows the way ahead,
What made you think you did?
