I'm listening to the debut album from the musician Lights - "The Listening", and it is beautiful. Synthpoppy goodness. But the lyrics of the song "Pretend" really speak to me. It is about the loss/reclamation of that childlike innocence we all once had, but lost the older we got.
Remember the times
We had soda for wine
And got by on gratitude
The worst they could do to you
Was check your attitude
Yeah, when fights were for fun
We had water for guns
And a place we could call our own
How we lost hold of that
I guess I'll never know
It would be nice to start over again
Before we burn out
I'd give my breath
Let's play pretend
