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?
By the pool that night, apparently
The chemicals weren't mixed properly
You hit your head and then forgot your name
And 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 takin' drugs and makin' love at far too young an age
They never checked to see my grades
What a fools 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 like to believe it was all about love for a child
