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
