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 than he was just yesterday      Won't get suckerpunched again   Gotta sink so you can swim, you know?   You never really learn   Till you fall and feel the burn, you know?      He looks back and has to pity where he's been   And 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, you know?   You never really learn   Till you fall and feel the burn, you 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, oh yeah      Won't get suckerpunched again   Gotta sink so you can swim, you know?   You never really learn   Till you fall and feel the burn, you know?      Won't get suckerpunched again   Gotta sink so you can swim   You know, you know, you know, you know   I know these things [Incomprehensible] won't matter
