Lyrics
The greatest moments in life,
The most significant moments in life
Sometimes they're not what we do but what happen to us
Sometimes, those moments are not actions but events that happen to us
Remember any given day you could step out the door
Every day, there's a possibility that life-changing events may occur when you step out
And see your life changed forever
A reminder that life can be altered unexpectedly
Butterfly flaps it's wings, a thousand miles away it starts raining
A reference to the butterfly effect, where small actions can have far-reaching consequences
All workings of the machine constantly running,
Life's mechanisms are always in motion
Ensuring that you are exactly where you should be
Life events ensure you are where you are supposed to be
The right place, at the right time
Being in the right place at the right time
Grab my keys, I'm headed out the door
Heading out, anticipating a typical day
It was a typical day; I didn't know what's in store
Unaware of what's to come
I run my usual errands, I drive my usual route
Running regular errands and following usual routes
I got the sunroof cracked open cause it's like 84 out
Enjoying a pleasant day with the sunroof open
A quick right off of Ten, back in that strip mall again
Driving into a familiar strip mall
My first job was right there before it became a gym
Reminiscing about a previous job in the same location
I gotta hit the In-n-Out to pick up a couple cigarettes
Stopping at In-n-Out for cigarettes
Say one day I'll finally quit, but know that I ain't at it yet
Acknowledging the struggle to quit smoking
Last thing I expected to see your face in that line
Unexpectedly encountering a past connection in the line
Flashback to that fight under that Texaco sign
Recalling a previous conflict under a Texaco sign
If you'd had recognized me, would there be something to say
Contemplating what might have happened if recognized
So, I just paid for my smokes then I went on with my day
Choosing to proceed with the day without interaction
I saw a friend today
Expressing the experience of seeing a friend
I saw a friend today
-In the drive-thru at Wendy's, a Baconator and some nuggets
Ordering food at Wendy's drive-thru
The voice from the speaker did somersaults inside my stomach
Feeling a physical reaction to the voice from the speaker
You're looking good, guess you're back with your folks
Observing the appearance of the acquaintance
How's the little one though, I really miss him the most
Expressing a longing for the friend's child
Well, I gotta be going plus you're getting a line
Ending the conversation due to the line
It was real nice to see you, maybe I'll see you next time
Expressing the pleasure of the encounter and the possibility of future meetings
Pulled outta that lot, headed back to my house
Heading home after the encounter
Didn't think life would change when I first headed out
Reflecting on how life can change unexpectedly
My thoughts still gripped, how time goes by so fast
Feeling the swift passage of time and contemplating past relationships
Man, today is a trip, major relationships past
Acknowledging the impact of past experiences on the present
I'm eternally grateful though, everyone I went through
Expressing gratitude for past experiences leading to the current moment
Brought me right to this point, got me ready for you
Feeling prepared for the current state due to past relationships
I saw a friend today
Reiterating the experience of seeing a friend
I saw a friend today
-Snoring
Transitioning to a different scene with snoring, an alarm clock, and a strong expression
Alarm clock rings
-Fuck
