Suckerpunch

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
