Neverland

Hold my breath and close my eyes

Try to feel enough to fly

The way I used to

Say "I'm fine" and tell a lie

I thought only babies cry

I'm not supposed to

Back then, I was adventurous

The swingset took me up above the clouds

Now getting up's like Everest

And even when I swing I have to fall back down

Give them back, they say

All the glory days

They talk about their childhood like it's over

But I keep getting younger every second I grow older

Worried and afraid

Of what the monsters say

And what they wouldn't give just to be young again

But here I am; I'm left behind in Neverland

What were summers like back then?

Running just to tag a friend

And I'm still running

From what I didn't know back then

Nightmares that don't ever end

They keep coming

When I believed in stories I could try to make impossible come true

But nothing anymore, it seems

When day is done, is left for me to think or do

Give them back, they say

All the glory days

They talk about their childhood like it's over

But I keep getting younger every second I grow older

Worried and afraid

Of what the monsters say

And what they wouldn't give just to be young again

But here I am; I'm left behind in Neverland

I still feel tiny, feel like crying

I'm still worried no one likes me

I'm still sorry for the lies, the hopeful nights and stolen time

Sing, they tell me - no, now stop it

Dance while everybody's watching

Everybody's watching - no, nobody's watching

Give them back, they say

All the glory days

They talk about their childhood like it's over

But I keep getting younger every second I grow older

Worried and afraid of every coming day

And what I wouldn't give to get a happy end

But "happy" only happens back in Neverland
