The Wrong Child

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've watched the children come and go A late long march into spring I sit and watch those children Jump in the tall grass Leap the sprinkler Walk in the ground Bicycle clothespin spokes The sound, the smell of swingset hands I will try to sing a happy song I'll try and make a happy game to play "Come play with me," I whispered to my newfound friend "Tell me what it's like to go outside I've never been" Tell me what it's like to just go outside I've never been And I never will [Chorus] And I'm not supposed to be like this I'm not supposed to be like this But it's okay [Verse 3] Hey, those kids are looking at me I told my friend myself Those kids are looking at me They're laughing and they're running over here They're laughing and they're running over here [Bridge] What do I do? What can I do? What should I do? What do I say? What can I say? [Chorus] I said I'm not supposed to be like this Let's try to find a happy game to play Let's try to find a happy game to play [Outro] I'm not supposed to be like this But it's okay, okay
