Lightning bugs remind me of childhood
On the cul-de-sac with the neighborhood kids
Playing ghost in the graveyard
The worst we got were cuts and scrapes
We always made it to home base
With little consequence
I miss those ice cream truck days
When I was not scared yet
I used to be invincible
Never worried 'bout much
Thinking it would last forever
Then one day, we all grew up
I used to feel so protected
What I didn't know kept me safe
Now everyone's on edge
The rules have changed, the stakes have raised
I used to be invincible
Never worried 'bout much
Thinking it would last forever
Then one day, we all grew up
My innocence is lost
In a house on Irishtown Road
Was it easier back then?
Or is hindsight colored rose?
Is hindsight colored rose?
