Not a worry in the world   A crazy boy and pretty girl   Man, life was simple then   Nothin' that we had to do   And no one to answer to   'Til reality stepped in      We're growing up   We've changed so much      I miss the innocence, the way it used to be   The way that we outran the world 'til it caught you and me   I miss the way it was, the way we used to laugh   The way it felt to fall in love when dreams were all we had   Days like this, I miss the innocence      Another morning, here I am   Between a deadline and traffic jam   And cursing all the signs   We didn't talk before I left   We're always busy doing something else   And lately that's been on my mind      We're always rushed   And there's no time for us      I miss the innocence, the way it used to be   The way that we outran the world 'til it caught you and me   I miss the way it was, the way we used to laugh   The way it felt to fall in love when dreams were all we had   Days like this, I miss the innocence, oh yeah      I miss the innocence, the way it used to be   The way that we outran the world 'til it caught you and me   I miss the way it was, the way we used to laugh   The way it felt to fall in love when dreams were all we had   Days like this, days like this I miss the innocence, oh      Well, I miss the innocence   Ooh yeah
