Lyrics
Innocence
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Once there was a me who always knew the way
Who somewhere on the road led me astray
And I've seen so many broken souls
(Always thought I'd change somehow,)
Broken
(Altered by the road)
In despair
(And become what I was always meant to be)
Lying at the curb
(But every step along the way
Gasping
(Every mile of road)
For air
(Wore down the fearless manchild that was me)
Restless mind, you steal my time
Need to find a place to hide
Slowly losing my innocence
Once there was a me who always knew what was right
But somewhere on the road he lost his light
Always thought I'd be much more
(Never thought I'd be this weak)
I would
(Never thought I'd fall)
Transform
(And lose myself along these dusty roads)
Somehow someday
But here I am
(But here I am)
Reckless time, you steal my mind
New to hide each place I've found
Still I'm losing my innocence
We're all losing our innocence
I want that invincible time
That invincible me
I want it all back
I want it all back
I want myself back
