Sittin` on the front porch
Wasting our abundant time
Hoping for a friendly face
To pass and smile
We would even wave
To folks we didn`t recognize
Nothin` wrong with being friendly
Things have changed
Chorus:
`Cause I`m remembering a time
When it was alright to smile
When our hearts were never told
To live in constant fear
The days of innocence have gone
Did they tip-toe out the door?
Only thing I know is
I don`t talk to strangers anymore
Staring at my feet I
Can`t afford to catch your eye
Giving you the wrong impression
`Cause I know danger hides
deep behind the kindest smile
always question its intention
When did I change?
`Cause I`m remembering a time
When it was alright to smile
When our hearts were never told
To live in constant fear
The days of innocence have gone
Did they tip-toe out the door?
Only thing I know is
I don`t talk to strangers anymore
