Since the boy became a man
Now he sees the forest for the trees
Now he touches just enough to feel
He's much stronger then he was just yesterday
Won't get suckerpunched again
Gotta sink so you can swim
Ya know?
You never really learn
Till you fall and feel the burn
Ya know?
He looks back and has to pity where he's been
Then he smiles and walks away
There were days when it hurt too much to handle
Foolish boy had to learn how to dismantle
All those memories that wouldn't seem to leave
Won't get suckerpunched again
Gotta sink so you can swim
Ya know?
You never really learn
Till you fall and feel the burn
Ya know?
There is a reason
Some reason for all of this
Affliction is a contradiction to our happiness
Except to those who know
Those who know
Won't get suckerpunched again
Gotta sink so you can swim
Ya know?
You never really learn
Till you fall and feel the burn
Ya know?
Won't get suckerpunched again
Gotta sink so you can swim
Ya know, ya know, ya know?
It's been about a dozen seasons Since the boy became a man Now he sees the forest for the trees Now he touches just enough to feel He's much stronger then he was just yesterday Won't get suckerpunched again Gotta sink so you can swim Ya know? You never really learn Till you fall and feel the burn Ya know? He looks back and has to pity where he's been Then he smiles and walks away There were days when it hurt too much to handle Foolish boy had to learn how to dismantle All those memories that wouldn't seem to leave Won't get suckerpunched again Gotta sink so you can swim Ya know? You never really learn Till you fall and feel the burn Ya know? There is a reason Some reason for all of this Affliction is a contradiction to our happiness Except to those who know Those who know Won't get suckerpunched again Gotta sink so you can swim Ya know? You never really learn Till you fall and feel the burn Ya know? Won't get suckerpunched again Gotta sink so you can swim Ya know, ya know, ya know? Explain Request ×
