Naive Again

[Verse 1] I don't believe In fairytales Now that I've seen behind the veil No pot of gold, no man upstairs Just piles of bills and unanswered prayers [Chorus] I was a kid once, but kids grow up They ask their silly questions till they know too much What I wouldn't give to live back then Bright-eyed and easy Naive, again [Verse 2] She came my way one bright spring day A picnic bench, a red bouquet No wedding bells, no big parade The flowers died, I cried and cried [Chorus] I was a kid once, but kids grow up They ask their silly questions till they know too much No getting back that innocence When love was easy Naive, again [Verse 3] All that I've known, my childhood home They packed it up, a moving truck My parents plans, their shaky hands In older age, they turn the page [Chorus] We all were kids once, but kids grow up They ask their silly questions till they know too much When it's said and done, we'll reach the end And we'll wish we were naive, again And we'll wish we were naive, again
