Finding My Way Back
Jaheim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lights out,
Sucker punch, syked out.
Caught a love wave,
Rode it then I wiped out.
Two ships just passing in the night now,
Offshore, looking for a light house.
Reveal you said that it was painless,
Down and out drowning in a sea of my anguish
Funny, you always said hope floats.
Comprehended but I can't cope
So I

Gotta find my way back, way back to you baby.
Tryna find my way back , way back to you baby.
Gotta find my way back, way back to you, to us, to love.

Man down, my heart's in your hand now.
Hate to love, draw an X in the sand now.
No clue, no map, damn.
So I'm digging until I end up in Japan now.

Reveal you said that it was painless,
Down and out drowning in a sea of my anguish
Funny, you always said hope floats.
Comprehended but I cant cope
So I

Gotta find my way back, way back to you baby.
Tryna find my way back , way back to you baby.
Gotta find my way back, way back, to you, to us, to love.

We go lost lines got crossed
And the light turned to static baby.
And your ship got caught up the current
And carried both of us away
We were so much better
When we were together
And just cant let you slip away.

Gotta find my way back, way back to you baby.




Tryna find my way back , way back to you baby.
Gotta find my way back, way back, to you, to us, to love.
