lyrics

When I was young I was told some lies
But none of them were the hurting kind
And that’s alright now
Some things I learned were make believe
Like that jolly man and his giving tree
And that’s alright now
As every curtain was pulled I’d find
My life wasn’t what I’d had in mind
And that’s alright now
Well buckle up son, cause here we go
You know it’s gonna be a bumpy road
And that’s alright now

All these rules they keep on changing
And no ones telling me
Now this puzzle’s rearranging
Tell me what it’s supposed to be
The only thing I know for sure
Is I’ll soldier on for more
So please take my hand and walk through this with me

Well I got older I thought I knew
But turns out that’s just how they get you
And that’s alright now
Well I had it all mapped out to go
But then I veered to a different road
And that’s alright now
She said I was all she’d ever need
But she also said that she’d never leave
And that’s alright now
Well sometimes lessons they can be heard
But they won’t sink in until they’re learned
And that’s alright now
