When I was younger I used to wait anticipate
Mark my calendar on the release date
So I'd be the first to hear the brilliant things you'd say
I'd 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
Who's gonna show me how to laugh
Open your mouth open your mouth open your mouth
Who's gonna show me how to
Who's going to show me how to laugh?
Who's going to jerk tears from my eyes
I've memorized every last word and every note
So now who's going to write the songs
I wish the songs I always wish I wrote that song
So did you think you didn't matter anymore
That you weren't changing people's lives
Well you're 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
