The distance from the man that I am to the man I want to be The time it takes to realize time is the distance I need
But I was born impatient And I was born unkind But I refuse to believe I have to be the same person I was born when I die ‘Cause change is alright Change is alright
I’m not proud of all the choices I’ve made for a lot of my life Following the shadow when I damn well know that behind me is the light
But I’ve lied to my mother I made people feel like hell But I refuse to believe I have to keep being cruel ’cause I’m a coward myself
And time is impatience No, patience takes time Excuses will only do good if you’re waiting around to die
Everyone is born with self worth How easily it turns to doubt It takes letting go of what we know we can’t live without
But the blood in the water Is the blood of my brother We both learned it didn’t mean a thing in the end if one was thicker than the other
And I’ve tried having faith But I’ll rot like a dog ‘Cause I’ve always been scared of loving someone just a little bit more than I’m loved
