Just a lost boy in a small town
I'm the same kid but I'm growing now
Try to make it out but I don't know how
Wish that I was young what have I become
Now it's late night and I'm at home
So I make friends with my shadow
And I play him all my sad, sad songs
And we don't talk but he sings along like
Oooh, fairy tales are not the truth
What am I supposed to do
Mmmmmm
Days feel like a blur now
Still feel eighteen but I'm burnt out
So I daydream of what I could be
If I turned back time to a storyline
Where my mom read me a tale where
A couple kids, one girl and a sailor
Met a boy in green, I thought it'd be me
But I guess that dream wasn't meant to be like
Oooh, fairy tales are not the truth
What am I supposed to do
Mmmmmm
I guess Peter Pan was right
Growing up’s a waste of time
So I think I’ll fly away
Set a course for brighter days
Find the second star, I’m soar - ing
Then straight on to the mor - ning
I know that I’ll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
And I don't care
If I never land
'Cause the distant sky's
Always better than
My life right now
And the place I am
So for one last time
I guess Peter Pan
I guess Peter Pan was right
Growing up’s a waste of time
So I think I’ll fly away
Set a course for brighter days
Find the second star, I’m soar - ing
Then straight on to the mor - ning
I know that I’ll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
