The wrong child

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 new found 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
I´m not supposed to be like this
I´m not supposed to be like this
But it´s okay
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
What do I do?
What can I do?
What should I do?
What do I say?
What can I say?
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
I´m not supposed to be like this
But it´s okay...okay
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 new found 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
I´m not supposed to be like this
I´m not supposed to be like this
But it´s okay
Hey those kids are looking at me

Those kids are looking at me
They´re laughing and they´re running over here
They´re laughing and they´re running over here
What do I do?
