Lost Way
M.A.S.H. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's like I'm gone like I lost my way
Sent a text forgot what to say
Picked up the guitar forgot how to play
Stuck inside like it's a cloudy day
I can see the sun but can't feel it's rays
My brain is fried has it gone astray
Take me back to when I was saved
I never read the book but still know how to pray
I wish I might I wish I may
Always stay straight and never stray
Try to keep my friends never betray
Can you help me now cuz I lost my way
Help me now I've lost my way
Can't see the path in front of me from all the haze
I lost my way
Done burned a bridge can't get across and now
I lost my way
Can't see the path in front of me from all the haze
I lost my way
Done burned a bridge can't get across and now
I lost my way
I lost my way so when I turned around
Try to find myself in the lost and found
Keeping my feet flush to the ground
Gotta stay safe talkin safe and sound
I see a sign showing me where to go
Should I continue down this desolate road
Fresh don't you remember you forgot to know
Gotta take another path in order to grow
Man you're right and I must say
I'll thank you tomorrow if I see that day
Where'd you come from mista Ray
Brightened my path cuz I lost my way
Help me now I've lost my way
Can't see the path in front of me from all the haze
I lost my way
Done burned a bridge can't get across and now
I lost my way
Can't see the path in front of me from all the haze
I lost my way




Done burned a bridge can't get across and now
I lost my way
