Forgive me, Peter

    My lost fearless leader

    In closets like cedar

    Preserved from when we were just kids

    Is it somethin' I did?

    The goddess of timing

    Once found us beguiling

    She said she was trying

    Peter, was she lying?

    My ribs get the feelin' 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

    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

    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 onto the days when you were mine (Hold onto the days)

    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

    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
