The world seems to change us Turn us into harder people And we're givin' up or we're givin' in Time seems to keep us Apart like perfect strangers Stranger and stranger to ourselves How can we tell it's real? Yeah, we kiss, but just to kiss, without the soul We're 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 mem'ry 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
