Love For A Child Lyrics - We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things - 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 

And 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 

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 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
