Time is wasted on me but mom it will be all right
You've lost your faith in me but mom it will be all right
And the family will hold even though we're all sad
And the family will hold even though things turned out bad

And I will write a new song and I will sing it tonight
No one sings along but Mom it will be all right
And the family will hold even though we've lost the means
And the family will hold in this graceless, sad routine
Sad routine

'Cause I've always know that i was second born
But I hold my own like I am a first born son
First born son

Temperatures dropped inside but mom it'll be alright
It's time to swallow your pride but mom it'll be alright
And the family will hold and we'll pretend we're not hexed
And the family will hold though we don't know what comes next
What comes next

'Cause I've always know that I was second born
(Second born)
But I hold my own like I am a first born son, yeah yeah
Leave it alone but I am second born
(Second born)
I know what I am, and I am a first born son
A first born son
And I found me a girl and she's had a troubled life
And I will make a home and 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

'Cause I've always know that I was second born
(Second born)
But hold my own like I am a first born son yeah
(First born son)
We leave it alone but I am second born
(Second born)
I know what I am, and I am a first born son
A first born son
