Tyler Adlam - About a Boy Lyrics

There was a boy, who had a love for life
He new one day, that he would learn to fly
But not before, he fell a few times
Thats the way, the way it has to be
Before he strikes a match and sets the failures of his past on fire
Let them light the way so he don't ever have to stay like this
And when he finally finds the things that he had thought would set him free
He'll see that there's more truth to everything
Than he thought there would be
There was a man, who fed himself to death
He ate his hands, so he'd hurt no one else
But deep within his skin, still buried in his bones
There was a will that lives, not ready to let go
Until he strikes a match and sets the failures of his past on fire
Let them light the way so he don't ever have to stay like this
And when he finally finds the things that he had thought would set him free
He'll see that there's more truth to everything
Than he thought there would be
Than he thought there would be
