Come to me, I'm empty

And I really could be filled

Come to me, I'm hungering

And I really should be thrilled

Make things happen

Pop bam crack,

Help me, whelp me

Don't turn back

Tell me when I'm better

After telling me I'm bad

Then bring me down when I'm too happy

And remind me why I'm sad

I don't know why I'd want that

Or why I'd want you, too

But I know the only things I want

To want are that and you

If I feel like life's too simple

Show me how I do it wrong

Help me get some suffering

Then help me get along

Convince me you'll console me

But just tear me up instead

Before you tell me which way's up

To clear the clouds inside my head

Sometimes help me with some answers

Or maybe even questions

I want some things to think about

So give me all the best things

Tell me why and when it's easy

Why and when it should be hard

When I wonder, watch me ponder

While I wander through the yard

When do things mean anything?

I'd really love to know

Because right now I know nothing

Save for knowing I'm too slow

Speed it up for me, you see

I need to feel the burn

I need a fiery medicine

For it's for that I yearn

Show me how to write a poem

If my poetry's not wrong

But if I cannot write a poem

Then help me write a song

Give me things to do, get through

Or chew on every day

Build me up when I'm too weak

And think that I'll give way

When I need to end this

Will you promise, tell me so?

I might go on forever

If you never let me know

Remind me that I'm human

When I need to feel I'm not

Rub my face against the dirt

Because those things are all I've got

Spread your wings and let me in

To give me time to shine

But if I'm too late it's just as great

Just make sure I don't mind.
