Innocent
Rose Falcon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You answered the phone hello
I said guess who but you didn't know
Doesn't it strike you as strange
It's only been a year but so much has changed
We'd sneak up on your rooftop
cigarettes and secrets
You're the only one I told because I trusted you to keep it
Remember we were innocent
Sunshine in your eyes
Tell me you remember when our bicycles could fly
Innocent

I miss having somebody to call
When there's something to say or nothing at all
Everyone asks if it's true the rumors they heard about you
They say that you got married and you're having a baby
I don't know how to answer shrug my shoulders and say maybe

Remember we were innocent
The world turns time goes by
Everytime I hear our song oh
I can't help but cry
Innocent

I'll keep you in my prayers I know that you'll be ok
And if you ever need my know that best friends are for always
Always...

Remember we were innocent
Sunshine in your eyes
Tell me you remember when our bicycles could fly
Innocent

Remember we were innocent
The world turns time goes by
Everytime I hear our song oh




I can't help but cry
Innocent
