Hey there, young man
I remember when
You used to dream
Of where you're standing today
Hey there, young man
You won't turn out the way you thought
It gets better
You get better

We talk ourselves in and out of trouble
We stumble to find our place
We crash and burn and rise up from the rubble
I can't believe the life that we've made
Don't know where I'm going
But I'm on my way

Hey there, young man
Your heart's gonna break
But still open it
'Cause your happiness is worth all the pain
Hey there, young man
Not everyone's your friend
But you know I've always been
Yeah, I've always been

We talk ourselves in and out of trouble
We stumble to find our place
We crash and burn and rise up from the rubble
I can't believe the life that we've made
Don't know where I'm going
But I'm on my way

Hey there, old man
Do you remember how
You used to worry 'bout
Everything they think?
Hey there, old man
Tell me, are you proud
Of the cuts and the bruises, the nights and the using
The way that it worked out somehow?

We talk ourselves in and out of trouble
We stumble to find our place
We crash and burn and rise up from the rubble
I can't believe the life that we've made
Don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I'm going
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm on my way
