"Lifetimes And Seconds" lyrics

Let's burn a pot of coffee and talk about the good old days
All the crazy shit we did and all those memories we tried to hide away
The things we said we'd do and then realized we never could
Try to figure out how we could just leave this town for good

Cause a garden couldn't grow without water
And a drunk can't sober up until the bottom of his cup
And a man's only as good as his father
And I feel the same aches that he felt every morning I wake up
That takes a lifetime to learn
And a second to forgot

I can tell you now if I've learned anything at all
Yeah darkness comes before the dawn and pride before the fall
With every year that passes I feel a little more my age
You can't write another chapter if you never turn the page

And I've spent a lot of years sorting through
Coming to terms with who I am and why I do the shit I do
The women I've kissed and all the chances that I've missed
They got me to where I stand with every turn and every twist

That takes a lifetime to learn
That takes a lifetime to learn
That takes a lifetime to learn
And a second to forgot
