Innocent

Our Lady Peace · Playlist: The Very Best Of Our Lady Peace [2009]

Oh, Johnny wishes he was famous

Spends his time alone in the basement

With Lennon and Cobain and a guitar and a stereo

And while he wishes he could escape this

But it all seems so contagious

Not to be yourself and faceless

In a song that has no soul



I remember feeling low

I remember losing hope

And I remember all the feelings

And the day they stopped

We are, we are all innocent

We are all innocent, we are, we are all

We are, we are all innocent

We are all innocent, we are, we are all



Oh, and Tina's losing faith in what she knows

Hates her music, hates all of her clothes

Thinks of surgery and a new nose

Every calorie's a war,

And while she wishes she was a dancer

And that she never heard of cancer

She wishes God would give her some answers

And make her feel beautiful



I remember feeling low

I remember losing hope

And I remember all the feelings

And the day they stopped

We are, we are all innocent

We are all innocent, we are, we are

We are, we are all innocent

We are all innocent, we are, we are



One day you'll have to let it go

You'll have to let it go

One day you'll stand up on your own

You'll stand up on your own

Remember losing hope

Remember feeling low

Remember all the feelings and the day they stopped



We are, we are all innocent

We are all innocent, we are, we are

We are, we are all innocent

We are all innocent, we are, we are

We are, we are all innocent

We are all innocent, we are, we are

We are, we are all innocent

We are all innocent, we are, we are



We are, we are all innocent
