Our Innocent Promises
We used to dance in the sprinklers
Call ourselves fairies
Lull our pretend babies to sleep
Dream that perfect life
But now you're a woman
You're rebellious and free
Am I growing prematurely?
Because in the blink of an eye
You're under another guy
And she's smoking everything
Fantasizing sinful things
Where did the innocence go?
And those promises we made?
Look, you've become who we once hated
We're becoming those things
Things we swore we'd never be...
Call ourselves fairies
Lull our pretend babies to sleep
Dream that perfect life
But now you're a woman
You're rebellious and free
Am I growing prematurely?
Because in the blink of an eye
You're under another guy
And she's smoking everything
Fantasizing sinful things
Where did the innocence go?
And those promises we made?
Look, you've become who we once hated
We're becoming those things
Things we swore we'd never be...

Wish we could go back in time, relive the innocent days... Seems like we've forgotten them. Thanks for commenting Rose :)

Fairy.. this seems like a promise between best friends.. who made a pact.. only to have one of them, turn the other way.. believe me.. i've felt this.. brilliantly done.. much respect..

Exactly what it is, it's just surreal seeing how far we've come... literally doing the things we "promised" we'd never do... I almost feel like I'm breaking my own promise, from a young and inncocent self. Thank you for commenting as always Dave :)

Good write, brings back the nostalgia of my own feelings similar to this with a friend I had when I was in high school.
