Hold on to Innocence

The world seems to change us
Turn us into harder people
And we are giving up or we are giving in
Time seems to keep us
Apart like perfect strangers
Stranger and stranger to ourselves
How can we tell it is real?
Yeah, we kiss, but just to kiss, without the soul
We are eye to eye, what do we see?
What do we know?
Yeah, we touch, but just to touch, without the feel
We speak of love, what do we mean?
Hold on, hold on, hold on to the innocence
Hold on, hold on tight
The dream seems to linger
Sometimes I almost taste it
It's all that's left, all that's true
I need to remember
Something more than just a memory
What I need is all of you
How can we tell it's real?
Yeah, it's real as any bullet to the brain
As real as any summer dawn
What do we know?
Life's just a breath we take and carelessly let go
We won't know it's gone until it's gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on to the innocence
Hold on, hold on tight
We were greater than ourselves
When we gave without taking
When felt without thinking
When we smiled without faking
Heart to heart and skin to skin
Hold on, hold on, hold on to the innocence
Hold on, hold on tight
Hold on, hold on, hold on to the innocence
Hold on with all your might
