Innocent
Sixth Floor Memories Lyrics

I see you wondering
I notice that you are contemplating

Is it my turn yet
Do I get my chance to shine now

Well, I'm sorry to say
Unfortunately, my answer is no

I don't think so
I am not convinced that it is your moment yet

At least not for a while
You will have to wait a bit longer

You should've made your mind up
You ought to have decided earlier

You should've called it a day
You should have ended things earlier

You really made a mess of it now and
You have created a chaos that has consequences

This isn't going your way
Your plan is not working out as anticipated

And when they say goodbye
Eventually, everyone moves on

They always end up fine, down the line
Over time, things tend to work out for people

And now you cannot deny
It is undeniable that

You're nothing but a passer-by
You are only passing through temporarily

And you got
You obtained

Yourself a way up to the sun
You reached incredible heights

And forgot
But you neglected to remember

You had to come down
That you would have to return to reality eventually

And if you ever stop to think it through
If you pause to reflect on the situation

You will find you're not innocent
You are, in fact, guilty of something

Not even you
You cannot claim to be blameless

Not so lucky now are you
Your fortune appears to have turned

Noticed the cracks in the wall
You saw the warning signs

Window pane coming loose
The window frame was fragile

Saw the ceiling coming down
You perceived an imminent danger

And maybe there's a place for you
Perhaps there is another opportunity for you

Somewhere you could try again
A location to start anew without baggage

A place that you could call your own
A spot that you can claim as yours alone

Because right here doesn't feel much like home
This setting no longer provides you with comfort

Guess I have to spell it out for you
I must make it crystal clear to you

Be the reminder of the things that you always do
Act as a prompt for your typical actions

And if it feels somewhat dissonant
Even if it initially causes discomfort

Let it be known you're not innocent
Admit that you are not blameless

You never stopped to think it through
You never paused to consider alternatives

(Been hearing that for a while)
(You have been ignoring that advice)

(You had to come down)
(You were bound to face reality)

(Been hearing that)
(You have been hearing that message repeatedly)
