Peter

Forgive me, Peter, my lost fearless leader

In closets like cedar, preserved from when we were just kids

Is it something I did?

The goddess of timing once found us beguiling

She said she was trying, Peter, was she lying? My ribs

Get the feeling she did

And I didn't wanna come down

I thought it was just goodbye for now

You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me

Words from the mouths of babes, promises oceans deep

But never to keep

Oh, never to keep

Are you still a mind-reader, a natural scene-stealer?

I've heard great things, Peter, but life was always easier on you

Than it was on me

And sometimes it gets me, when crossing your jet stream

We both did the best we could do underneath the same moon

In different galaxies

And I didn't wanna hang around

We said it was just goodbye for now

You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me

Words from the mouths of babes, promises oceans deep

But never to keep

Never to keep

And I won't confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn

As the men masqueraded, I hoped you'd return

With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you'd learned

'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned

And you said you'd come and get me, but you were 25

And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired

Lost to the Lost Boys chapter of your life

Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried

To hold on (hold on) to the days (to the days)

When you were mine

But the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light

You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up (ah)

You said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up, then you were gonna come find me

Words from the mouths of babes, promises oceans deep

But never to keep
