Innocence
Super Duper Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was swimming pool but ice, every single summer
watermelon t-shirt, we were ridding roller coasters
bored in the morning do you wanna go for dinner
every day was a new day, every cardboard box in a clean shelf
it was all real if I close my eyes and see it,
it was all real if I reach out I can feel it
it was all real if I close my eyes and see it,
it was all real if I reach out I can feel it

if I reach out I can feel it
if I reach out I can feel it
if I reach out I can feel it
if I reach out I can feel it
if I reach out I can feel it

Now I'm living on the youth-side dealing with the ups and downs
I remind myself of those days, of the summers in my home town
And maybe it was easier or maybe I was innocent
sometimes you dunno what you got is good when you loving every minute of it

it was all real if I close my eyes and see it,
it was all real if I reach out I can feel it
it was all real if I close my eyes and see it,
it was all real if I reach out I can feel it

if I reach out I can feel it
if I reach out I can feel it
if I reach out I can feel it

if I reach out I can feel it
if I reach out I can feel it
