Waking up, I see that everything is okay
The first time in my life, and now it's so great
Slowing down, I look around, and I am so amazed
I think about the little things that make life great

I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

[Chorus]
This innocence is brilliant
I hope that it will stay
This moment is perfect
Please don't go away
Cos I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by

I found a place so safe, not a single tear
The first time in my life, and now it's so clear
Feel calm, I belong; I'm so happy here
It's so strong, and now I let myself be sincere

I wouldn't change a thing about it
This is the best feeling

[Chorus]

It's a state of bliss; you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful, it makes you wanna cry
It's a state of bliss; you think you're dreaming
It's the happiness inside that you're feeling
It's so beautiful, it makes you wanna cry

It's so beautiful, it makes you wanna cry
This innocence is brilliance
It makes you wanna cry
This innocence is brilliance
Please don't go away
Cause I need you now
And I'll hold on to it
Don't you let it pass you by

[Chorus]

    My Interpretation:I believe this song is so beautiful and about when life is just so content and carefree...like when you're a child. It's so pure and honest.
    "It's so beautiful, it makes you want to cry."

    My Interpretation:This song rocks. Childhood really kicks ass, I'm 25 now and yet I feel like I'm somewhere in 16 to 19 years old, I'm so energetic especially when I'm in the band, I feel like scared of growing old. The point is when we were young, let's enjoy life. Live it to the fullest. Because when we grow old up to our death age, there are instances that we can no longer do our desired things and it's sad, we will just regret it.

    General Comment:i personally think this is about the first time she has sex, and she wakes up in the same bed as whoever she did it with, and now all the fears of doing it the first time are gone, and she is happy she cant go back.
