Lyrics
There's a picture on my kitchen wall
Looks like Jesus with his friends involved
And there's a party getting started in the yard
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 last night, apparently
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
You hit your head and then forgot your name
And 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 some 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
And when the house was left in shambles
Well, 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 some 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 some 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
