Lyrics
Maybe we forced the deal delivered some kind of blow Maybe we broke the seal, cracks began to show Maybe we crossed the line, got everything off the ground Maybe we lit the fuse, a habit hard to lose

All I can remember, all I can recall is you Telling me theres been an accident Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do Every day I miss your innocence

Maybe we ran the lights, somehow caused the scene Maybe we learn to fight, as part of a routine Maybe we jumped the wall, suddenly tipped the scale Maybe we tried too hard, so afraid to fail

All I can remember, all I can recall is you Telling me theres been an accident Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do Every day I miss you innocence

Something's lost for what its worth You and me this is our church There is still some love 'round here

All I can remember, all I can recall is you Telling me theres been an accident Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do Every day I miss your innocence

Lyrics Meaning
Maybe we forced the deal delivered some kind of blow - Arnold promises Tesla he would return someday. That never happened.

Maybe we broke the seal, cracks began to show - Arnold disappears into The Midnight World.

Maybe we crossed the line, got everything off the ground - Arnold gets himself trapped inside the realm and he blames it all on himself.

Maybe we lit the fuse, a habit hard to lose -

All I can remember, all I can recall is you telling me theres been an accident - Tesla's mother told him that his father has disappeared without a trace

Always the pretenders, always thought that love would do - Tesla tried to convince himself that Arnold is not gone or dead.

Every day I miss your innocence - Tesla misses his father.

Maybe we ran the lights, somehow caused the scene -

Maybe we learn to fight, as part of a routine -

Maybe we jumped the wall, suddenly tipped the scale-

Maybe we tried too hard, so afraid to fail - Arnold tried to create the perfect world but almost got himself killed trying to.

Something's lost for what its worth -

You and me this is our church -

There is still some love 'round here - After all these years, the love between Tesla and his father still grow strong.
