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
