Did you know what you had when you went right?
Was it storming that night or were there stars in the sky?
Did you smoke all alone in your room and did you get high?
While you fantasized about the rest of your life
You never know it 'til you're carried away
You never know it 'til you're carried away
I didn't know what I had when I went right
It was 1:45, I was on the west side
Used to laugh out loud with my friends but on the inside
I was speeding down Mulholland with no headlights
You never know it 'til you're carried away
You never know it 'til you're carried away
Everything that mattered now don't mean a thing
You burned all the pages of my history
You never know it 'til you're carried away
You never know it 'til you're carried away
I didn't know what we had 'til it went wrong
Too little too late, now I'm one big cliché
Writing songs all alone in my room just to get by
Steady wasting my days in this bed that I made without you
You never know it 'til you're carried away
You never know it 'til you're carried away
Any place, anywhere, anytime, it can change
You never know it 'til you're carried away
You never know it 'til you're carried, carried away
