[Lyric] That Innocent Time (Jakob Hallett)

I became the youngest leader
Of the country
But I felt like I was the dumbest
Man in society

Now, I did things that people praised
And I was so damn good at my job
But soon, I began to crave
Those things that I had not got...

Feelings of yearning towards her
I still miss that tender bond
Love is hard to describe with words
Never would I have thought I’d abscond…

Each moment that I spend without her
Is a direct insult to my heart and soul
‘Cause she was my entire world
And now our precious love grows so cold…

Freedom seemed so precious
A far cry from reality
People weren’t overly gracious
And demanded too much of me
Responsibility was a curse
And I lost my innocence
But I matured beyond words
Relishing in confidence

Feelings of yearning towards her
I still miss that tender bond
Love is hard to describe with words
Never would I have thought I’d abscond…

Each moment that I spend without her
Is a direct insult to my heart and soul
‘Cause she was my entire world
And now our once precious love lies grows so damn cold…
Yeah...

I thought of what I left behind
One thing was of my own mother
Out of sight, and out of mind
The other was my lover

I want to escape, if only I could
This job makes me feel quite sick
I've heard of this place called Romford
I quite fancy a road trip
Feelings of yearning towards her
I still miss that tender bond
Love is hard to describe with words
Never would I have thought I’d abscond…

Each moment that I spend without her
Is a direct insult to my heart and soul
‘Cause she was my entire world
And our now once precious love lies cold…
Yeah...
