I lost my wallet in the back of a cab
My dignity somewhere along with that
(Classic) The driver said, "Kid, you'll be alright"
But my rent's due Tuesday, and it's Friday night.
My friends all laugh, say it's just my luck
I swear I'm cursed, but they call it growing up
Every bad decision turns into a joke
But the punchline's me, and I'm running out of hope.
And maybe I'm just finding my way
Through the chaos I create every day
But if there's one thing I've learned by now
You lose yourself before you're found.
Oh, I'm living in the lost and found
Try to hold it together, but I'm spinning around
Every mistake's another bruise on my crown
Oh, I'm living in the lost and found.
I left my phone at a bar downtown
Now I can't tell who's trying to track me down
(Brilliant) A stranger said, "Man, you've gotta slow it down"
But I'm 24, what else is life about?
I've burned through shoes and burned some bridges too
I've got holes in my jeans and my point of view
Every wrong turn brings a story to tell
Guess I'm collecting postcards on my way through hell.
And maybe I'm just finding my way
Through the chaos I create every day
But if there's one thing I've learned by now
You lose yourself before you're found.
Oh, I'm living in the lost and found
Try to hold it together, but I'm spinning around
Every mistake's another bruise on my crown
Oh, I'm living in the lost and found.
Sometimes you've gotta break it to fix it
Lose your grip just to feel what you're missing
Turn every misstep into a mission
The wrong way's still a way to the right direction.
Oh, I'm living in the lost and found
Try to hold it together, but I'm spinning around
Every mistake's another bruise on my crown
Oh, I'm living in the lost and found.
Yeah, I'm living in the lost and found
Every fall is just a new way to rebound
Can't stop now, I'm learning how
To live in the lost and found.
I lost my wallet in the back of a cab
But maybe it's the best thing I've ever had.
