Innocence is not a thing
Like a ring
That you lose down the drain
When you're trying to get clean
In a sense it's more a sense
Of a silence not yet bursting
With messages erased from your machine
It's the radio static
Of the boxes in the attic
Full of songs unplayed
It's a feeling of a time when I
Could look into his eyes and find
Nothing but a love unmade
Have you lost
Your freedom from
A person you
Have not become?
Well, I wanna meet you, I wanna meet you too
Who I was
Won't come again
But someone new
Is round the bend
And I wanna meet her, I wanna meet her too
Did you lose your innocence
Or the lie it represents
That the world will only want you if you're clean?
Well, it isn't something that you've sold
It isn't gold that will fade
If they tell you you're no longer glittering
It's the feeling of believing that
What people are perceiving is
Only what is true
In the moment when you realize
The ones that you idealize
Don't know what to do
Have you lost
Your freedom from
A person you
Will not become?
Well, I wanna meet you, I wanna meet you too
Who you are
Won't come again
So I don't care
Bout where you've been
I wanna meet you, I wanna meet you too
Don't lose yourself with your innocence
You're more than the shell of your innocence
Don't lose yourself with your innocence
You're more than the shell of your innocence
Have you lost
Your freedom from
A person you
Will not become?
I wanna meet you, I wanna meet you too
Who you are
Won't come again
So I don't care
Bout where you've been
I wanna meet you, I wanna meet you too
