Jason Mraz - Love for a Child Lyrics

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

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 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 
I'd love to believe it's all about love for a child 

It was all about love...
