As if I didn't know which way to run
Would bow and let that young boy go free
Well, I've spent my whole life running 'round
As if you know how it feels
But here I am holding on
By now I should have long been gone
Let love slow me down
And came upon the wisdom in your eyes, surprise
Chasing songs from town to town
As if somehow your years
Until I heard your laughter flowing
I thought that I'd free but I'm just one more prisoner of time
Alone within the boundaries of my mind
So lonely and so wild until you turned and smiled
Well, I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
I thought I knew where I was going
With which you show myself to me
Well, it's such a clever innocence
To never be who you wanted to be
And I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
Thinking I'd be free by just never
