I guess te 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 letto to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when te 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 te are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent, you're still an innocent

Did some things te can't speak of
But at night te live it all again
te wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only te had seen what te 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 te 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 te 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 te are is not what te 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 te 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 te 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 te are is not what te 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
