  • When I was a younger man
    I thought the pain of defeat would last forever
    But now I don't what it would take to make my heart back down

    'Cause I only have to wait a little while
    Before I get my
    Clean slate

    And somewhere in another place
    Who knows could be another lifetime
    Everything we gave away returns like a seed from a fugitive tree

    And you only have to wait a little while
    Before you
    Find the truth

    And I only had to wait a little while
    Yeah, I only had to wait a little while
    Yeah, I only had to wait a little while
    Before I got my
