lyrics

[Verse 1]
As you look down on the field with
All your lost boys and thimble shield
Do you look back, do you feel glad
To find you wield the same sword that your father had

If you could fly outside yourself
Your spark would have no doubt
We put ashtrays in our airplanes
To put the fires out

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I don’t mean to intrude into your world
My shrink seems to think you carry a pearl

[Chorus 1]
Tell me Peter Peter Pan
What’s it like in Neverland
What’s the property tax like
Is Tinker Bell cat-called all night

Hey there, Peter Peter Pan
You and I share somethin’ kid
You wish you could never grow up
Sometimes I wish I never did

[Verse 2]
When literary changes are to difficult to read
Try and analyze, there’s no need to feel defeat

Don’t shroud yourself in metaphor to buy yourself some time
To find the words to build a world where you and I reside

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Refusing to see how we grew closely
Ain’t worth looking back and feelin’ rosy

[Chorus 1]
Tell me Peter Peter Pan
What’s it like in Neverland
What’s the property tax like
Is Tinker Bell cat-called all night

Hey there, Peter Peter Pan
You and I share somethin’ kid
You wish you could never grow up
Sometimes I wish I never did

[Outro]
We can't rewrite the past
But the pain, it won't last
You'll dig deep among the leaves
And find accountability
