When I was five
My grandma gave me my first memory
A Dukes of Hazard car with a plastic key
It wasn't the one I wanted
But there's a right to be honest
And still be grateful
I know it's late but I'm thankful
When I left home
I brought my baggage with me when I moved west
Met a friend and told her how to live
She loved me even though I
Couldn't see that my mind
Was so closed then
I know it's late but I'm open
There is fine line between my past and me
And there is a timeline connecting who you see
It takes a lifetime of learning every day that
This is the story of a man who makes mistakes
When I grew up
I met a girl and we decided to settle down
But we lost the fire we had somehow
And when my heart got darker
Her heart just got larger
Just like magic
And I don't take that for granted
There is fine line between my past and me
And there is a timeline connecting who you see
It takes a lifetime of learning every day that
This is the story of a man who makes mistakes
I'm not done learning
But I'm not done hoping
I'm not done hurting, and failing
But hey I'm not done growing
Cause there is fine line between my past and me
And there is a timeline connecting who you see
It takes a lifetime of learning every day that
This is the story of a man who makes mistakes
Before this ends
Looking back there's so much to forget
But I can't think of any last regrets
And one thing I keep learning
Is beauty is a journey
So I'm not just older
I know it's late but i'm closer
