Innocence

Years crawl
You wonder how you got here so fast
So fast
Age proves
The more you learn the less your memory lasts
Less it lasts
Oh, youth softens into a list of obligations
That you made to compensate for all the grownup time you lost

Whatever happened to the days when you could trust
Something more than what you couldn't really see?
Did you lose your sense of wonder when you
Saw how this world's too little to live by?
Oh, thinking about the days when you were young and
All you really had was still the only thing you need
Innocence
Innocence
Innocence

Life flies
In a whirlwind of confusion sometimes
Most times
That's why there can only be one truth to anchor by
Anchor by
Oh, still you choose to march to your own beat before you
Hear the true reality of what's been playing all along

Whatever happened to the days when you could trust
Something more than what you couldn't really see?
Did you lose your sense of wonder when you
Saw how this world's too little to live by?
Oh, thinking about the days when you were young and
All you really had was still the only thing you need
Innocence
Innocence
Innocence

Unless you follow like a child
To the other side of now
You will never truly live
Unless you follow like a child
To the other side of now
You will never truly live
Unless you follow like a child
To the other side of now
You will never truly live

So will you choose to live your days when you can
Trust something more than what you can already see?
And will you keep your sense of wonder through
The ways that this world's too little to live by?
Oh, thinking about the days when you were young and
All you really had was still the only thing you need
Innocence
