3 Doors Down – If I Could Be Like That Lyrics 13 years ago
First off let me say "I love this song". That being said, I have listened to the lyrics about a hundred times.
Here's the second half of the first chorus

Cause in his life he is filled
With all these good intentions
He’s left a lot of things
He’d rather not mention right now {A young child would not have good intentions or things he'd rather not mention right now. This would implicate the boy was at least in his late teens.}

But just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me,
{This sounds like the action of a small child.}

All in all I would say that the lyrics sounded great but in the end made no real sense. They were just written to convey a certain feeling which they did very well.
