When I was only a child
I never quite believed
That I would have to someday
Leave the state
It came to stretching the truth
There was nothing quite like my youth
So it was hard to engage
But here I am engaging
At last
Without a moment to spare
Completely in my mind
Yet I find I'm inclined
To leave such moments behind
If it'll spare me some time
I know I have it in me
To be thе man you've always needed
And I don't intend to wastе my time
On all my doubts and all my demons
I might as well believe in
Destiny
'Cause that's the way that it's looking
At the second line
When you fall down on your knees
Does it give you a view
Of something you can't see
With your head held high?
Every once in a while
I look over and smile
But that's just by the by
I couldn't tell you what a blind man sees
But I can tell I'm going nowhere
If I don't get gone today
There's no magnetic force
Just to keep me on course
I gotta find my own way
'Cause
I know I have it in me
To be the man you've always needed
And I don't intend to waste my time
On all my doubts and all my demons
I might as well believe in
Destiny
'Cause that's the way that it's looking
At the second line
If I ever made you cry
If I ever caused you pain
You gotta know that was never
My intent
I always felt like I knew what I needed to do
And never said what I meant
So I can understand why you'd believe
That I was working from motives
Which weren't entirely pure
But if you're coming with me
Then I can help you to see
Whatever seems so obscure
I know I have it in me
To be the man you've always needed
And I don't intend to waste my time
On all my doubts and all my demons
I might as well believe in
Destiny
'Cause that's the way that it's looking
At the second line
