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 want to come down
I thought it was just goodbye for now
You 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
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 want to hang around
We said it was just goodbye for now
You 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
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
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 onto 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
You 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
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
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 want to come down
I thought it was just goodbye for now
You 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
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?

You 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
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
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
