lyrics

I know I said I wouldn’t write
I’m sorry if I wrecked your night
It’s been awhile since you’ve been here
I can only wonder where you disappeared

You use to be my favourite friend
I waited for you at the end of every year I ever spent
Now I’m getting old I wonder where you went
Oh innocence

When I believed
That men in red suit
Magic-ed down chimney flues
And married women with kind faces
I believed
That deer could fly
And no one ever really died
And men in red suits fit in fireplaces

I know I said I don’t believe
But there are times that’s all I need
To know that there is more to life
Than going thru the motions like an exercise

It use to be my favourite time
Before the nickels and the dimes
Meant more to me than feeling good
I’d like to get it back and I think I could
Oh innocence

If I believed in men in red suits
Strongly and without dispute
Maybe I could change this place in
Inside myself that somehow died
When childhood got set aside
Men in red suits became faceless

So I hope you’re doing well
I haven’t been as you can tell
I like to tell you thank you for
All the things you gave me when I was a girl

Though I know you don’t exist
I believe that writing this
Is helping me to get it back
All innocence I lost and now I lack
Oh innocence

If I believed in men in red suits
Strongly and without dispute
Maybe I could change this place in
Inside myself that somehow died
When childhood got set aside
Men in red suits became faceless
