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
Thеn you were gonna come find mе
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 twenty-five
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 (aah)
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
You 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
Peter
Pardonne-moi, Peter, mon leader intrépide perdu
Dans des placards comme du cèdre, préservés depuis qu'on était enfants
Est-ce que c'est quelque chose que j'ai fait ?
La déesse du timing nous a un jour trouvés fascinants
Elle a dit qu'elle essayait ; Peter, mentait-elle ?
Mes côtes ont le sentiment qu'elle l'a fait
Et je ne voulais pas descendre
Je pensais que c'était juste un au revoir pour l'instant
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me chercher
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me chercher
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me chercher
Des mots sortis de la bouche des enfants
Des promesses océans profonds
Mais jamais à tenir
Oh, jamais à tenir
Es-tu toujours un lecteur d'esprit ? Un voleur de scène naturel ?
J'ai entendu de grandes choses, Peter, mais la vie était toujours plus facile pour toi
Que pour moi
Et parfois ça me touche quand je traverse ton jet stream
On a tous les deux fait de notre mieux sous la même Lune
Dans des galaxies différentes
Et je ne voulais pas traîner
On a dit que c'était juste un au revoir pour l'instant
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me chercher
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me chercher
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me chercher
Des mots sortis de la bouche des enfants
Des promesses océans profonds
Mais jamais à tenir
Jamais à tenir
Et je ne vais pas avouer que j'ai attendu, mais j'ai laissé la lampe brûler
Alors que les hommes se masquaient, j'espérais que tu reviendrais
Avec les pieds sur terre, dis-moi tout ce que tu as appris
Parce que l'amour n'est jamais perdu quand la perspective est acquise
Et tu as dit que tu viendrais me chercher, mais tu avais vingt-cinq ans
Et la durée de vie de ces fantasmes a expiré
Perdu dans le chapitre des Garçons Perdus de ta vie
Pardonne-moi, Peter, sache que j'ai essayé
De m'accrocher (m'accrocher) aux jours (aux jours) où tu étais à moi
Mais la femme qui est assise près de la fenêtre a éteint la lumière
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me chercher
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me chercher
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir (aah)
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me chercher
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me chercher
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me chercher
Des mots sortis de la bouche des enfants
Des promesses océans profonds
Mais jamais à tenir
