Carson

[Verse 1]

Carson wanted to fit in, just like you and me

He had it bad: ADHD

Kids of pure evil, just impossibly mean

14-year-old dead for me

I'm lyin' with my son

Tuckin' him into bed

I read him a story, then I kissed his forehead

I pray hard if something happens

He's gonna know what to do

[Chorus]

Carson, we been thinkin' 'bout you

Carson, we been thinkin' 'bout you

Wearin' your birthday shoes

Wearin' your birthday shoes

[Verse 2]

You wanted to fit in

You wanted somewhere to belong

Life won't be wasted

Kids hear this song

They're gonna stand up and say something

They're gonna save a life

[Chorus]

Keep your chin up, yeah

Put a smile on your face

These are the toughest days

Carson, we been thinkin' 'bout you

Carson, we been thinkin' 'bout you

Wearin' your birthday shoes

Wearin' your birthday shoes

[Bridge]

They won't let up

You gotta know back up

It's a half-empty cup

Turn your music up

Turn your music up

Turn your music up

Turn your music up

Turn your music up

Turn your music up

Turn your music up

Turn your music, music, music up

[Outro]

Close those eyes

Realize someday soon comes a brand-new moon

And we graduate from this cruel cartoon

This ain't goin' away

This ain't goin' away

This ain't goin' a-way
