I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your warpath
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind tryin' to get it back
Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything?
And everybody believed in you?
It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent
Did some things you can't speak of
But at night you'll live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you had seen what you know now then
Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catchin' days?
And everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you
Wasn't it beautiful runnin' wild 'til you fell asleep?
Before the monsters caught up to you?
It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
Thirty two and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent
Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too
Lives change like the weather
I hope you remember
Today is never too late to
Be brand new
It's all right, just wait and see
Your string of lights are still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
Thirty two and still growin' up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent
Lost your balance on a tight rope, oh
It's never too late to get it back

Analysis:
I chose the song “Innocent” by Taylor Swift because the lyrics from this song really relate to childhood memories. This song is talking about a person who has made a mistake in their life and compares it to who they used to be as a child. Taylor Swift’s lyrics to this song really makes it easy for anyone to relate to. The song is very soothing and encouraging. Everyone has a rough patch, we just have to remember the great memories in our life instead of dwelling on the bad memories.

This
song has a lot of uplifting words that everyone needs to hear every once in a
while, it’s a song that lets you know that it’s alright to forgive yourself. The words “Time turns
flames to embers. You'll have new Septembers. Every one of us has messed up too”
is so encouraging and reminds us that everyone makes mistakes, but we have to
keep moving forward. It also shows us how life gets harder as we grow older,
but the great memories that we treasure from our childhood is a reminder just
how beautiful life can be if we let it. “Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox
days? Always a bigger bed to crawl into. Wasn't it beautiful when you believed
in everything? And everybody believed in you?”
“Innocent”
I believe is a great title for this song, it’s a word we use to describe a
child. They also use the word throughout the song “It's okay, life is a tough
crowd. Thirty two and still growin' up now. Who you are is not what you did. You're
still an innocent. Which I interpret to mean that we will always be learning
what’s right from wrong and no matter what mistakes you make in life, you’re
still that kind hearted, joyful kid that you used to be.
