Sarah Lake - Wide Eyed Girl Lyrics

I was born calm blue eyed blonde head
I never liked to sleep in my own bed
I'd always sneak right in with mom and dad
Was always pretty happy bout what I had

I used to ride my bike on summer days
Down to Walters pool or to the lake
And I would cover my ears when the fireworks flew
I'd do anything my brothers told me to

You know there's something in the innocence of not knowing what the real world is
I couldn't wait for my birthdays I always learned from my mistakes
I like to drift into my memory and remember who I used to be
A wide eyed girl life is but a dream
Cause she's still in me

When I was ten we moved down to the south
Red door black shuttered homey house
It's where I learned to sing it's where I found my voice
I felt so un pretty and shy with boys

You know there's something in the innocence of not knowing what the real world is
I couldn't wait for my birthdays I always learned from my mistakes
I like to drift into my memory and remember who I used to be
A wide eyed girl life is but a dream
Cause she's still in me

Sang with my band out on the coast
Went on a big deal tv show
I met my soulmate in New York
We had a little boy and girl

Then one sad day I lost my dad
But he left this place holding my hand

You know there's something in the innocence of not knowing what the real world is
I couldn't wait for my birthdays I always learned from my mistakes
I like to drift into my memory and remember who I used to be
A wide eyed girl life is but a dream
Cause she's still in me
