Journal Song

In birthday cash I had 20 bucks
When I saw you I started saving up
I watched you come to life and kissed the checkered heart
They sewed up inside we didn't know what would take part

It was the perfect union as my parents split
You kept your smile through all that we witnessed

Oh my mama tried her best through this whole situation
But how do you prepare for your life to fall apart
And I lost my innocence but not my imagination
I knew I had a friend in my monkey with a checkered heart

The other kids couldn't understand
I guess their dads never laid a hand
I brought you to my shrink and made you friendship bracelets
When flashbacks filled my dreams you helped me to sleep painless

Safe in numbers never felt alone
You were kind and comfort through so many unknowns

Oh my mama tried her best through this whole situation
But how do you prepare for your life to fall apart
And I lost my innocence but not my imagination
I knew I had a friend in my monkey with a checkered heart

Your furs now tattered and old
Helped me through the stories untold
Gave me peace when I needed consoled
An escape when I couldn't control

Oh my mama tried her best through this whole situation
But how do you prepare for your life to fall apart
And I lost my innocence but not my imagination
I knew I had a friend in my monkey with a checkered heart
In my monkey with the checkered heart
