LOve For a Child by Jason Mraz
There's a picture on my kitchen wall
Looks like Jesus and his friends involved
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 that 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 your memory's a shame
So, what about taking this empty cup and filling it up
With a little bit more of innocenceI haven't had enough,
it's probably because when you're youngIt's okay to be easily ignored
I like to believe it was all about love for a child
And 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
So, what about taking this empty cup and filling it upWith a little bit more of innocenceI haven't had enough, it's probably because
when you're youngIt'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 divorceI've been enjoying both my Christmases and my birthday cakesAnd taking drugs and making love at far too young an ageOh but they never check to see my gradesWhat a fool I'd be to start complaining nowWhat about taking this empty cup and filling it upWith a little bit more of some innocenceI haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're youngIt's okay to be easily ignoredI'd love to believe it was all about love for a childIt was all about love...
