[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
