I saw John, he looked so sad   I want you to know that I feel bad   For not making our dreams come true   We had so many dreams, me and you      I want you to know I love you   You're my favorite thing from the past   And all of those nights we spent together   I never had such a blast      "Anyone could tell you were my instrument", he said   I understand you, you wanna play mean   Everything about us had an innocence   But everything around us was changing      It's hard to believe, so much happened so fast   Remember the way we'd always left   While I'm thinking of the things you do   We were kings of the world, me and you      I wish it has stayed like that forever   But everyone was dropping off like flies   I had so many friends in rehab   A couple who practically died      "Anyone could tell you were my instrument", he said   I understand you, you wanna play mean   Everything about us had an innocence   But everything around us was changing      And my mistake was being already married   I wanna make a leap of innocence to you      I guess when you were living the high life   It's one of those things that just can't last   Kind of like love in California   But I never had such a blast      "Anyone could tell you were my instrument", he said   I understand you, you wanna play mean   Everything about us had an innocence   But everything around us was changing      My mistake is thinking I'd already made it   I wanna make a leap of innocence   My mistake is thinkin' that you and I can change it   I wanna make a leap of innocence to you
