Buxton, Sarah - Innocence Lyrics






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

  16. J.... P....

  17. L.... B....

    Beautiful song and video. Makes me cry to remember.

  18. T.... M....

    Makes me remember my first love. Six whole years ago. Makes me feel old when I say it like that, lol.

  19. S.... R....

    "Its that young girl, wide eyed, first love, on top innocence" So true its never really the person but the thrill of being loved and loving someone and knowing at anytime u could get caught but it never really happens!! Love this song!!

  20. D.... T....

    nice aspect ratio.... no i'm lying, i don't like it.

  21. B.... A....

    That whole album is awesome!!! Not a bad song on it!!

  22. g.... ....

    This song reminds me of being 17 again. And I love it. Every single moment.

  23. T.... ....

    I do understand where you guys are coming from, but I don't think she's talking about sex. I think its much more... well, innocent. Its about being 15 and blushing and feeling the rush of having someone who loves you. Its so fresh and new; its not like you sandbox days and the innocence comes from the curiosity to learn about this world. After your heart gets broken, you learn not to fall so deep, and the innocence is gone.
    Either way, beautiful song.
    Blessings and Love to you and yours
    <3

  24. T.... ....

    Agreed with the previous post. It's not about how young you lose it, goes out for both guys and girls. I dunno why it became such a race, personally, I find it pathetic that some people feel ashamed to be a virgin. It happens when it happens, sooner or later, don't matter.

  25. S.... ....

    Not all that different for blokes tbh. You fall for a girl and it's awesome but when it ends then the innocence has gone. Find myself reflecting on that sometimes, the innocence of first love is something I miss too. Stopped wearing my heart openly since then. But still a virgin at 21 and it'll stay that way until I find the right girl, I'm willing to wait until then and until we're married!

  26. S.... C....

    @Pinkcuddlesxoxo I was 25 when I lost mine :) GOOD LUCK lol

  27. S.... C....

    looks like Faith at the beginning.

  28. t.... ....

    @tgoboo1
    Innocence is kinda one of those things you can't hold onto to... You don't realize its gone till its gone.

  29. D.... B....

    So good

  30. K.... K....

    @softballluver95 Im glad to hear Im not the only virgin and Im 28. I hear this song and Im happy I chose the path I did take and feel sad for those that didnt chose that same path. So Im proud of you for chosing not to be like everyone else

    @elvra1

    User "kallenangelmystery" was probably confusing her with an actress called Sarah Buxton who is 44.

  64. M.... G....

    @misssavyloo well she's talking about how much she misses being young and in love but now that she's older and back at the place that she went when she was younger with her first love, she realizes the only thing she actually misses was that young girl, wide eyed, first love, one time innocence.
