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

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