SARAH BUXTON LYRICS - Innocence

"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
