"Crooked Fence"

Somewhere along the line
Somewhere, some point in time
Someone told you to grow up
They never told you how
Oh, but look at you now
Was their direction even good enough?

Cause they can tell you to change
Yeah they can tell you to act your age
They say it's only a phase
Before the world finally has its way

[chorus]
I don't want to lose my innocence
So much was already stolen from me
I don't want to flirt with that crooked fence
That I've stood on, wondering
Just what's on the other side

Somebody told you this
And oh, the way it sticks
It doesn't matter if you want to know
And we're all in such a hurry
To pile on the worries
With baby steps to still forego

[chorus]
I don't want to lose my innocence
So much was already stolen from me
I don't want to flirt with that crooked fence
That I've stood on, wondering
Just what's on the other side

Don't wanna close my eyes
But oh, I try
Don't wanna close my eyes
I fight
All the things that keep me up at night

[chorus]
I don't want to lose my innocence
So much was already stolen from me
I don't want to flirt with that crooked fence
That I've stood on, wondering
Just who am I gonna be
Some things I'll just wait and see
Instead of trying to figure out right now
All of the things I've got to learn about
