Why, hello there Innocence

Why, hello there Innocence
what an unfamiliar sight to see
for when I was born
you were one of the first things to leave me

a lifetime has passed since you've stopped by
you've driven past
but I never had the time

now I look back at my life
and relive all the things I have done

how I wish that you and I, dear Innocence
could have lived and breathed as one

you might've saved the scene
and prevented so much pain

you could have spared me evil thoughts
and been the remedy to my shame

but none of that matters now as i reach the end of the road
because there we are rejoined again
as my heart beat begins to slow
