Ink on a paper Two decades like vapor And everything I am comes crashing down Brown eyes, my savior Change all my behavior And everything you made me comes crashing down I turned to God when I was eleven I cried: Does it get better in heaven? And he said: How the hell am I supposed to know? I left my innocence on the fire escape Saturday At my place And I would do it again I left my innocence in West LA Yesterday At your place And now I know it’s okay Reading your letter I thought it’d get better We fall apart until we grow again (again, and again, and again) They say it's the cycle Of action and trial And everything I am is changing now I turned to God when I was eleven I cried: Does it get better in heaven? And he said: How the hell am I supposed to know? I left my innocence on the fire escape Saturday At my place And I would do it again I left my innocence in West LA Yesterday At your place And now I know it’s okay Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh I left my innocence on the fire escape Saturday At my place And I would do it again I left my innocence in West LA Yesterday At your place And now I know it’s okay
