I sit and think about the day that you're gonna die

Your wrinkled eyes betray the joy with which you smile

Care to see my reason? Care to put your life in mine?

Looking at life from the perspective of a boy

Who's learned to love you but has also learned to grow

Could we make it better, stormy weather, is so hard to know

I look at you, you look at me, we bite each other

And with your bitter words you kick me in the gutter

But my troops are bigger than yours, you'll never stand my fight

Ours is a family that's based upon tradition

But with my careless words I tread upon your vision

Are five kids better than one? Who doesn't like to become?

Yeah, yeah, yeah

This is just who I am, this ain't a greater plan

To break your heart over me

I know that what I've started means that when we have parted

I can live in honesty
