Second Born (Acoustic)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Time is wasted on me but mom, it will be alright You lost your faith in me but mom, it will be alright And the family will hold even though my brother's gone And the family will hold even though things turn out wrong [Verse 2] We wait for test results but mom, it will be alright Spent out on expert consults but mom, it will be alright And the family will hold even though we've lost the means And the family will hold in this graceless, sad routine A sad routine [Chorus] I've always known that I am second born It's like a hand-me-down in a house, we live in mourning [Verse 3] I will write a new song and I will sing it tonight No one sings along but mom It will be alright [Chorus] I've always known that I am second born It's like a hand-me-down and I feel it when the threads are torn Leave it alone but I am a second born I know what I've done, I don't need to be a firstborn son A firstborn son [Verse 4] And I found me a girl, she's had a troubled life I will make a home, I'll make a troubled girl my wife And the family will hold, and maybe we will have a son And the family will hold, and we'll say we've just begun We've just begun [Chorus] I've always known that I am second born It's like a hand-me-down in a house, we live in mourning Leave it alone but I am second born I know what I've done, I don't need to be a firstborn son [Outro] Second born Second born
