Innocent
Teenage Priest Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wake up to my second life
I'm all out of time
I wanna hit the moment right
But I've lost my mind

Maybe I get the picture
Maybe it's with another like I should
And maybe it's all a figure

I don't think I knew you like I should

You make me feel so innocent
Even if I wasn't right
You make me feel so innocent
Being with you all the time

I wanna see the other side
Forever's a lie
I couldn't tell you wrong from right
Won't you help me decide

I know you see another
But let me be the one too treat you good
I know I'm just a bother
But I don't think I knew you like I should

You make me feel so innocent
Even if I wasn't right

You make me feel so innocent
Being with you all the time

Overall Meaning

The song "Innocent" by Teenage Priest talks about the feelings of a person who has recently woken up to a new chapter of their life, and they have lost track of time. They want to make the most of the time they have and make the right choices, but they are confused and don't know where to start. They mention that they may have a vague idea of the big picture, but they are unsure if it is with the right person or not. They are left wondering if what they are chasing after is just a figment of their imagination.

However, despite all the tumultuous emotions, the person feels a sense of innocence when they are with another person. Even if they feel like they aren't making the right choices, the other person makes them feel like they are still pure at heart. They even ask for help in making the right decision, as they are not sure of what is right or wrong anymore. Despite knowing that the other person is seeing someone else, they still want to be there for them and treat them well, but they feel like they never knew them well enough.
