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
