Leap of innocence

I saw John, he looked so sad
I want you to know that I feel bad for not making our dreams come true.
We had so many dreams, me and you.
I want you to know I love you.
You´re my favorite thing from the past,
And all of those nights we spent together,
I never had such a blast....
Anyone could tell you were my instrument, he said, I understand you.
You wanna play me.
Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing
It´s hard to believe so much happened so fast
Remember the way we always left
While I´m thinking of the things you do
We were kings of the world, me and you
I wish it has stayed like that forever
But everyone was dropping off like flowers
I had so many friends in rehab,
A couple who practically died
Anyone could tell you were my instrument, you said, I understand you.
You wanna play me.
Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing
And my mistake was being already married.
I wanna make a leap of innocence to you.
I guess when you were living the high life
It´s one of those things that just can´t last
Kind of like love in California
But I never had such a blast
Anyone could tell you were my instrument, you said, I understand you.
You wanna play me.
Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing
My mistake is thinking I´d already made it.
I wanna make a leap of innocence
My mistake is thinking you and I can change it.
I wanna make a leap of innocence to you
I want you to know that I feel bad for not making our dreams come true.
We had so many dreams, me and you.
I want you to know I love you.
You´re my favorite thing from the past,
And all of those nights we spent together,
I never had such a blast....
Anyone could tell you were my instrument, he said, I understand you.
You wanna play me.
Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing
It´s hard to believe so much happened so fast
Remember the way we always left
While I´m thinking of the things you do
We were kings of the world, me and you
I wish it has stayed like that forever
But everyone was dropping off like flowers
I had so many friends in rehab,
A couple who practically died
Anyone could tell you were my instrument, you said, I understand you.
You wanna play me.
Everything about us had an innocence, but everything around us was changing
And my mistake was being already married.
I wanna make a leap of innocence to you.
I guess when you were living the high life

My mistake is thinking I´d already made it.
I wanna make a leap of innocence
My mistake is thinking you and I can change it.
I wanna make a leap of innocence to you
