Neverlander

When we were kids

Didn't the world seem much simpler than it does now?

I ask Peter Pan

"When does the Neverland end to us then anyhow?"

Why do I get so wistful

When I wear these worn down sneakers?

Just like me, they're worn too thin

But that's what gives me soul

And I lie between the lace

And I dream about someplace

Where my friends are still around

And the where world is still okay

I remember smiling

You were right beside me

Crying to you

That I don't want to grow up

I remember blue skies

Dancing with our flashlights

Staying up 'til midnight to catch fireflies

Don't you remember?

Don't you remember?

Don't you remember?

Quarter after two, Tuesday afternoon

Thought I heard your whisper here in my room

It nearly stole the breath from me

And knocked me out of my seat

Starting to head off for my new school

Loading up the van, getting ready for the big move

While I turned the key to drive

I swear I saw you

I remember laughing

The glow from your TV

Pinky promised that

We would never grow up

I remember blue skies

Dancing with our flashlights

Staying up 'til midnight to catch fireflies

Don't you remember?

Don't you remember?

I remember dark skies

Weekends without sunshine

Mourning for a youth

I don't wanna give up

I remember smiling

To hide that I'm crying

When you said to me that it's time to grow up

Don't you remember?

(When we were kids

Didn't the world seem much simpler than it does now?)

Don't you remember?

(I ask Peter Pan

"When does the Neverland end to us then anyhow?")

I still remember...
