 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?

 By the pool last 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 some innocence

 I haven't had enough, it's probably because when you're young

 It's okay to be easily ignored

( -walk-up notes on the string)

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

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

( -walk-up notes on the string)

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 check 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

( -walk-up notes on the string)

I'd love to believe it's all about

 love for a child

It was all about love...
