[Intro]

              


[Verse 1]


  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


[Pre-Chorus]

                    
And I didn't wanna come down
                          
I thought it was just goodbye for now


[Chorus]

     
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 oceansssss deep
                            
But never to keep
                         
Oh, never to keep


[Verse 2]

          
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


[Pre-Chorus]

                    
And I didn't wanna hang around
                    
We said it was just goodbye for now


[Chorus]

     
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 oceansssss deep
                            
But never to keep
                         
Oh, never to keep


[Bridge]

                                         
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


[Chorus]

     
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
 
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 oceanssss  deep
          
But neverrrrr to keep
