"Innocence" lyrics

Years crawl
But you wonder how you got here so fast
So fast
And age proves that the more you learn
The less your memory lasts
The less it lasts

Your youth's heart fades into a
List of obligations that you made
To compensate for all
The grown up time you lost

Whatever happened to the days when you could trust in something more than what you couldn't really see?
Did you lose your sense of wonder through the ways that this world told you to live by
Ah thinkin' about the days when you were young and all you really had is still the only thing you need
Innocence, innocence, innocence

Time flies in a whirlwind of confusion
Sometimes, most times
That's why there can only be
One truth to anchor by, anchor by

But 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 in something more than what you couldn't really see?
Did you lose your sense of wonder through the ways that this world told you to live by
Ah thinkin' about the days when you were young and all you really had is 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 where you can trust in something more than what you can't already see?
And will you keep your sense of wonder through the ways that this world tells you to live by
Ah thinkin' about the days when you were young and all you really had is still the only thing you need
Innocence, innocence, innocence
