I wish I could tell you
That you're not scrawny
And I'm sorry
That you do drugs,
That you have imperfections,
That She left you.
But
When I see you smile,
It's as if the fog had cleared and if the whole world had an immense depression on its shoulders
I know that you'd be alright.
And
When I see your lows
It's as if a storm rolled in from nowhere and the world got drowned by those tears your beautiful blue eyes shed
And I know you'd wash away the world if you could
Do you remember...
Those Mickey Mouse Slippers that you wanted?
Those Mickey Mouse Slippers we couldn't afford?
Those Mickey Mouse Slippers you got for your birthday anyways?
Just so I could see you smile?
I'll give money for those clothes that are cool
I'll give you money so you can buy Clearasil
But I can't give you enough money
To buy all the media in the world
I'm sorry that you weren't strong enough to fight them off
My blue-eyed baby don't go taking life for face value
