When I was younger I used to wait anticipate

Mark my calendar on the release date

So Id be the first to hear the brilliant things youd say

Id skip luch for a week

Save up all my money To be the first kid on the block to own your brand new CD

Open your eyes open your eyes open your eyes

Whos gonna show me how to laugh

Open your mouth open your mouth open your mouth

Whos gonna show me how to

Whos going to show me how to laugh?

Whos going to jerk tears from my eyes

Ive memorized every last word and every note

So now whos going to write the songs

I wish the songs I always wish I wrote that song

So did you think you didnt matter anymore

That you werent changing peoples lives

Well youre wrong Such poignant words from you

I heard Thoughts and emotions that were worth so much more than a cheap slogan on a t-shirt
