The Wading Pool

I don't want to inherit the waters from you

So don't tell me that i'm blessed for putting up with you

Sometimes i wish i had more spite

The brain child of less insight

Because thats what would really hit you

In the wading pool

Well i've thrown in a nickel ohh

Everytime you've dared me too

But they all look like bottle caps

When the ripples clear and the lights gets through

So the wishes would have rusted outside

They were underwater well-disguised

By the boy with the shinning eyes

In the wading pool

Your only in it knee deep

I could tell you its fine

Throw you one more line

But i know it won't stretch

From uptown to the sea

So i'll stand by and toss

My nickels with my fingers crossed

As you splash around like a pretty fool

In the wading pool

I've thrown in all my wishes but nothing gets to you

You stand there too small for your britches

And i'm waiting to get through

With my nickels and my fingers crossed

And too much faith in you
