I guess u 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 u believed in everything
And everybody believed in you?

It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who u are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent, you're still an innocent

Did some things u can't speak of
But at night u live it all again
u wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only u had seen what u 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 u fell asleep
Before the monsters caught up to you?

It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me

Oh, who u 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 u are is not what u did
You're still an innocent

Time turns flames to embers, you'll have new Septembers
Everyone of us has messed up too
Minds change like the weather, I hope u remember
Today is never too late to be brand new

It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who u 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 u are is not what u did
You're still an innocent, you're still an innocent

Lost your balance on a tightrope
It's never too late to get it back
