lyrics

Don't worry about the boy
He'll grow in his own time
I know he may seem lost
But he will be ok
He just doesn't want to throw
All of his hard work away

It takes a second to know
But it takes longer to learn
That you don't always have to do it alone

You're over reacting again
And it doesn't have to take long to regain
Now all of these fallen, searching pieces,
That make up what he comprehends
And it'll all be over before you can say
Which way does he turn
Will he ever be ok
He doesn't need a lecture
He just needs common sense

So see what it is you want to see
And it'll be just more than me
Because you require
A straight faced liar
And that is just not me
And now you know me all too well
For this to ever sell
So don't expect a miracle
Expect it satirical

You're over reacting again
And it doesn't have to take long to regain
Now all of these fallen, searching pieces,
That make up what he comprehends
And it'll all be over before you can say
Which way does he turn
Will he ever be ok
