[00:27.60]There’s a picture on my kitchen wall
[00:31.12]Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
[00:34.31]There’s a party getting started in the yard
[00:40.90]There’s a couple getting steamy in the car parked in the drive
[00:48.08]Was I too young to see this with my eyes?
[00:52.95]
[00:54.45]By the pool last night, apparently
[00:58.22]The chemicals weren’t mixed properly
[01:01.60]You hit your head and then forgot your name
[01:08.19]And then you woke up at the bottom by the drain
[01:14.74]And now your altitude and memory’s a shame
[01:20.05]
[01:22.53]What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
[01:28.57]With a little bit more of innocence
[01:32.04]I haven’t had enough, it’s probably because when you’re young
[01:36.66]It’s okay to be easily ignored
[01:42.93]I like to believe it was all about love for a child
[01:50.01]
[01:53.29]And when the house was left in shambles
[01:57.37]Who was there to handle all the broken bits of glass
[02:05.12]Was it mom who put my dad out on his ass or the other way around
[02:12.66]Well I’m far too old to care about that now
[02:17.79]
[02:19.53]What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
[02:25.66]With a little bit more of innocence
[02:29.00]I haven’t had enough, it’s probably because when you’re young
[02:33.71]It’s okay to be easily ignored
[02:39.97]I’d like to believe it was all about love for a child
[02:47.40]
[02:50.33]It’s kinda nice to work the floor since the divorce
[02:54.98]I’ve been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakes
[03:02.87]And taking drugs and making love at far too young an age
[03:09.35]and they never check to see my grades
[03:12.92]What a fool I’d be to start complaining now
[03:19.92]
[03:20.15]What about taking this empty cup and filling it up
[03:26.26]With a little bit more of innocence
[03:29.44]I haven’t had enough, it’s probably because when you’re young
[03:34.60]It’s okay to be easily ignored
[03:41.98]I’d love to believe it’s all about love for a child
[03:50.30]
[03:51.37]It was all about love...
