Innocent

I guess you really did it this time

Left yourself in your warpath

Lost your balance on a tightrope

Lost your mind tryin’ to get it back

Wasn’t it easier in your lunchbox days?

Always a bigger bed to crawl into

Wasn’t it beautiful

when you believed in everything?

And everybody believed in you?

It’s all right, just wait and see

Your string of lights is still bright to me

Oh, who you are is not where you’ve been

You’re still an innocent

You’re still an innocent

There’s some things you can’t speak of

But tonight you’ll live it all again

You wouldn’t be shattered on the floor now

If only you would sing what you know now then

Wasn’t it easier in your firefly-catchin’ days?

And everything out of reach,

someone bigger brought down to you

Wasn’t it beautiful runnin’ wild

’til you fell asleep?

Before the monsters caught up to you?

It’s all right, just wait and see

Your string of lights is still bright to me

Oh, who you are is not where you’ve been

You’re still an innocent

It’s okay, life is a tough crowd

32, and still growin’ up now

Who you are is not what you did

You’re still an innocent

Time turns flames to embers

You’ll have new Septembers

Every one of us has messed up too

Lives change like the weather

I hope you remember

Today is never to late to

Be brand new

It’s all right, just wait and see

Your string of lights are still bright to me

Oh, who you are is not where you’ve been

You’re still an innocent

It’s okay, life is a tough crowd

32, and still growin’ up now

Who you are is not what you did

You’re still an innocent
