Innocent

I guess you really did it this time; left yourself in your war path
Lost your balance on a tight rope; lost your mind trying to get it back

Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days. Always a bigger bed to crawl into.
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything, and everybody believed in you?

It's alright, just wait and see your string of lights are still bright to me. Who you are is not where you've been. You're still an innocent.

Did some things you can't speak of, and at night you'll live it all again.
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now if only you had seen what you know now then.

Wasn't it easy in your firefly catching days everything out of reach, someone bigger down to you. Wasn't it beautiful running wild till you fell asleep, before the monsters caught up to you?

It's alright just wait and see your string of lights are still bright to me
Who you are is not where you've been, you're still an innocent.

It's okay, life is a tough crowd--20 and still growing up now.
Who you are is not what you did, you're still an innocent.

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

Lost your balance on a tight rope; lost your mind trying to get it back

I Wanna

I want to go where I can see for miles and not have it be blocked by mountains
I want to go someplace where it makes me feel whole again
I want to have the salt in the air, and look around me and feel nothing but happiness
Rehoboth Beach

I want to have my hair curl up in the natural wave, the way it only does in humidity
I want to close my eyes and take a deep breathe and let it all go
I want to walk the s  h  o  r  e line watching as people play in the water
I want to be some place where no one knows my name
I want to go on a bike ride down a small swampy path and see trees for miles with the sun shining through
I want to be on the board walk where all you see is the beach bums and families out shopping
I want to see the excitement a child gets when they see the hermit crab with the sing that says "FREE" in big bold letters
I want to get a braided anklet that I'll wear for months that will remind me of this place even when I have to go
I want to go where random tan life guards hit on me and tell me I'm beautiful
I want someone to meet me and tell me its refreshing to meet someone like me
I want to be in the east coast
I want to be at the beach
I want to be at Rehoboth
