Leap Of 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.

I saw John, he looked so sad

I want you to know that I feel bad for not making our dreams come true.

We had so many dreams, me and you.

I want you to know I love you.

You're my favorite thing from the past,

And all of those nights we spent together,

I never had such a blast....

Anyone could tell you were my instrument, he said, I understand you.

You wanna play me.

Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing

It's hard to believe so much happened so fast

Remember the way we always left

While I'm thinking of the things you do

We were kings of the world, me and you

I wish it has stayed like that forever

But everyone was dropping off like flowers

I had so many friends in rehab,

A couple who practically died

Anyone could tell you were my instrument, you said, I understand you.

You wanna play me.

Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing

And my mistake was being already married.

I wanna make a leap of innocence to you.

I guess when you were living the high life

It's one of those things that just can't last

Kind of like love in California

But I never had such a blast

Anyone could tell you were my instrument, you said, I understand you.

You wanna play me.

Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing

My mistake is thinking I'd already made it.

I wanna make a leap of innocence

My mistake is thinking you and I can change it.

I wanna make a leap of innocence to you
