Innocent
Life On Planet 9 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish you could tell me what I've done and I wish you could tell me before I run
But I can't help feel like I'm innocent
No I can't help feel like I'm innocent
I'm in too deep there's no way out, there's no way out
I'm in too deep and it's over now, it's over now
It's over now
I guess I didn't see we'd gotten so bad
And I guess I didn't see you'd gotten so sad

But I can't help feel like I'm innocent
No I can't help feel like I'm innocent
I'm in too deep there's no way out, there's no way out
I'm in too deep and it's over now, it's over now
It's over now
It's all said and done

We erase all we've done
We dream of anything and time heals everything, everything
