I Miss the Innocence
Yearning for Yesterday's Bliss
Lyrics
Not a worry in the world
Reflecting on a carefree time without concerns.
A crazy boy and pretty girl
Recalling a period of youthful spontaneity with a romantic partner.
Man, life was simple then
Nostalgia for a simpler life in the past.
Nothin' that we had to do
No obligations or responsibilities during that carefree time.
And no one to answer to
No one to be accountable to during that period.
'Til reality stepped in
The intrusion of reality and challenges into the carefree life.
We're growing up
Acknowledging the inevitable process of growing up.
We've changed so much
Noticing significant changes that come with maturity.
I miss the innocence, the way it used to be
Expressing a longing for the lost innocence of the past.
The way that we outran the world 'til it caught you and me
Remembering the carefree times when they felt invincible.
I miss the way it was, the way we used to laugh
Nostalgia for the joy and simplicity of past laughter.
The way it felt to fall in love when dreams were all we had
Cherishing the memories of falling in love when dreams were paramount.
Days like this, I miss the innocence
A longing for the innocence of days gone by.
Another morning, here I am
Describing the challenges of a typical adult morning.
Between a deadline and traffic jam
Navigating between work deadlines and traffic congestion.
And cursing all the signs
Frustration with the demands and pressures of life.
We didn't talk before I left
Regret for not communicating before departing.
We're always busy doing something else
Always occupied with various activities, neglecting important moments.
And lately that's been on my mind
Recent preoccupations weighing on the mind.
We're always rushed
Living in a constant rush with little time for personal connection.
And there's no time for us
Feeling that there's no time for the relationship.
I miss the innocence, the way it used to be
A reiterated desire for the innocence of the past.
The way that we outran the world 'til it caught you and me
Recalling how they once outran the challenges of the world together.
I miss the way it was, the way we used to laugh
Missing the carefree laughter and joy of earlier times.
The way it felt to fall in love when dreams were all we had
Reminiscing about the emotional intensity of falling in love when dreams were everything.
Days like this, I miss the innocence, oh yeah
A specific longing for innocence on days like the present.
I miss the innocence, the way it used to be
Reiteration of the desire to return to the innocence of the past.
The way that we outran the world 'til it caught you and me
Recalling the feeling of surpassing worldly challenges together.
I miss the way it was, the way we used to laugh
Nostalgia for the shared laughter and camaraderie of earlier days.
The way it felt to fall in love when dreams were all we had
Cherishing the profound experience of love in the days of pure dreams.
Days like this, days like this I miss the innocence, oh
Repeating the sentiment of missing innocence on days like the present.
Well, I miss the innocence
Final expression of longing for the lost innocence.
Ooh yeah
A concluding acknowledgment of the sentiment.
