Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The innocence of sleeping children

Dressed in white and slowly dreaming stops all time

Slow my steps and start to blur, so many years have filled my heart

I never thought I'd say those words

[Chorus]

The further we go and older we grow

The more we know, the less we show

The further we go and older we grow

The more we know, the less we show

[Verse 2]

The very first time I saw your face

I thought of a song and quickly changed the tune

The very first time I touched your skin

I thought of a story and rushed to reach the end too soon

[Bridge]

Oh, remember

Oh, please don't change

[Verse 3]

So the fall came, thirteen years

A shiny ring and how I could forget your name

The air no longer in my throat, another perfect lie is choked

But it always feels the same

[Bridge]

So they close together

Dressed in red and yellow

Innocent forever

Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms still dream

[Chorus]

The further we go and older we grow

The more we know the less we show

The further we go and older we grow

The more we know the less we show
