Innocent
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your war path
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind trying to get it back
Wasn't it easier in your, in your lunch box 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 are still bright to me oh
Who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent
Did some things you can't speak of
But at night you'll live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you had seen what you see now then
Wasn't it easy in your firefly catching days?
When everything out of reach someone bigger brought down to you?
Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild till you fell asleep
Before the monsters caught up to you?
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 growing 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
Mind change like the weather
I hope you remember today is never too late
To be brand new (ohh)
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 growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent
Lost your balance on a tight rope
It's never too late to get it back
