Innocence

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
Mmm, mmm
