Innocence (Live from Philly 2010)

You see it from the outside

Running toward the wall

Swinging from your blind side

You don't know me at all

I've been here too many times before

And your tears don't mean a thing

'Cause I only come when you scream

I told you, child, don't follow me home

You're just too perfect for my hands to hold

If you choose to stay, you'll throw it all away

And I just want to take your innocence

Is this what you wanted?

Did I make your dreams come true?

You're sitting in a corner

Wondering what you got into

And you ache for things you don't understand

That your tears don't mean a thing

'Cause I only come when you scream

I told you, child, don't follow me home

You're just too perfect for my hands to hold

If you choose to stay, you'll throw it all away

And I just want to take your innocence

There's no such thing as fate

Only yourself to blame

You never walked away

I told you, child, don't follow me home

You're just too perfect for my hands to hold

If you choose to stay, you'll throw it all away

And I just want to take your innocence

Don't follow me home, don't!

'Cause I just want to take

I just want to take your innocence

You took our innocence, Philadelphia

Seriously, you really did, man

We've been a band for a long time

We cut our teeth here

At the great radio station, WMNR

They've been holding the fire for us for a long time, man

Some incredible, incredible local bands in Philadelphia

That took a chance on a couple kids

Said, yeah, come up in front, man

I'll tell you what, nobody

Nobody like Philadelphia

Knows how good it feels to be shoulder to shoulder

At a rock show

Soaking, dripping wet, let me tell you

Nobody knows like Philadelphia does

Let's see if you know what I'm talking about
