There's a picture
on my kitchen wall
Looks like Jesus and
His friends involved
There's a party getting
started in the yard
And there's a couple
getting steamy in the car
parked in the drive
Was I too young to see this
with my eyes
And by the pool that night
apparently
The chemicals weren't
mixed properly
You hit your head and then
forgot your name
Then you woke up
at the bottom by the drain
And now your altitude
and memory's a shame
What about taking
this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough
It's probably because
when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I'd like to believe it was
all about love for a child
When the house was
left in shambles
Who was there to handle
all the broken bits of glass
Was it mom who put my dad out
on his ass or the other way around
Well I'm far too old
to care about that now
What about taking
this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough
It's probably because
when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I'd like to believe it was
all about love for a child
It's kinda nice to work
the floor since the divorce
I've been enjoying both
my Christmases and
my birthday cakes
And taking drugs and making love
at far too young an age
And they never checked
to see my grades
What a fool I'd be to start
complaining now
What about taking
this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocence
I haven't had enough
It's probably because
when you're young
It's okay to be easily ignored
I'd love to believe it was
all about love for a child
It was all about love
