Innocence

AlphabetLyrics.com


It's the first time that I've been here
Since I was here with him
I remember all the wild flowers
Waving in the wind.

Life was an undiscovered river
I was jumping in head first.

It was sink or swim, do or die
Sneaking out on summer nights
Stealing wine from my pa
The thrill of not getting caught.

And now and then I miss those days
But coming back to this place
I realize it ain't him I miss
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love
One time innocence, yeah...

We ran off to the corn field
Just outside the county fair
There were butterflies in my stomach
And fireflies in the air.

He tried hard not to show it
Oh, but he was just as scared as me.

And it was sink or swim, do or die
Sneaking out on summer nights
Stealing wine from my pa
The thrill of not getting caught.

And now and then I miss those days
But coming back to this place
I realize it ain't him I miss
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love
One time innocence, yeah...

And coming here
Has made me come to this
The one thing I can't get back
Is the one thing I miss, yeah...

And it was breaking rules, flying blind
What you see through younger eyes
It wasn't what I thought it was
Man, I swore he was the one.

And now and then I miss those days
But coming back to this place
I realize it ain't him I miss
It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love
One time innocence, yeah...

It's that young girl, wide-eyed, first love
One time innocence, yeah...
It's that innocence.
