Back when the streetlights meant come home soon Blue on the pavement in the month of June Bare feet running through the neighbor’s yard Everything was little, nothing was hard We used to dance in the living room No reason, just because our favorite song was on Didn’t need heaven, didn’t need proof Love was a word that felt simple enough Now I watch the world through tired eyes Everybody wants something Everybody leaves something behind I miss innocence, but I know too much now Heard too many goodbyes, let too much down Somewhere between the fireflies and the city lights I lost that part of me that didn’t always have to fight I still want love, still want to believe somehow But I miss innocence, and I know too much now Back when December felt holy somehow Waiting on magic to come through the house Now every promise has a shadow too Even the bright things carry some truth Your touch used to feel like a place to stay Now I read the silence in everything I learned the world can take without a sound And leave you smiling while it lets you drown Now I move slow through crowded rooms Trying to find a feeling I used to have for free I miss innocence, but I know too much now Heard too many goodbyes, let too much down Somewhere between the fireflies and the city lights I lost that part of me that didn’t always have to fight I still want love, still want to believe somehow But I miss innocence, and I know too much now If I could go back Not to change it Just to feel it One more night When my heart was open And the dark was nowhere Just the TV glow And the porch light I miss innocence, but I know too much now The world got complicated, I can’t turn it off now Somewhere between being loved and learning pain I became a version of myself I never meant to make I still chase light through all this missing out Yeah, I miss innocence But I know too much now
