This song is about a story Ben read about a boy seeking wisdom from a wiseman and the story had a lot to do with the number 3. The song is about searching for wisdom but learning that all you wanted were easy answers

Third Time

(Verse)
A tale of a young boy,
For wisdom he did look
He looked up an old wise man,
In his yellow telephone book

He went to the old man’s house,
He knocked three times…on the door
He said go away,
Come back in three weeks or me and tell me…

(Chorus)
How will you know?
Does your morality show?
Wisdom is not what you want
The easy answers, aren’t enough

(Verse)
The next day he went back again,
Puzzled by what the message said
It said, hey there you are again,
Spend three weeks inside your head and tell me…

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
The last day he pushed right through that door,
And he found a note lying by his toe
He read it aloud in the dark,
“Tell me what you think you know?”

(Chorus)
