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.
