Wendy's Song

Oh Peter,
Laying in the grass looking up into the night,
It’s a pretty good view here from the second star to the right.
.
I came to you with my heart on my sleeve,
When I’m with you, you make me believe
That we can make it, we can run far, far away,
Leave all our problems behind and together we’d fly away.
.
But that’s not real life, we’re living in a dream,
And we have to wake up to the harsh reality
Of a cruel world that holds no boundaries.
I don’t see an escape, you’re giving me false hope,
Or am I just looking with eyes blinded by reality?
.
Peter, promise you’ll never forget me.
You’ll always be my lost boy,
But this time I can’t just take your hand.
Though nothing would bring me greater joy,
I just can’t follow you to Neverland.
.
Peter, how can I be with you if you’re not with me?
I don’t want to grow up anymore
I’ve made too many mistakes, the damage is already done.
But I’m afraid you’ll grow out of me,
That you’ll just drop me and run.
So do I take a leap of faith and follow you,
Or do I keep my feet firmly planted on the ground?
.
Things were so much simpler back then,
Laughing at all the stupid things our friends told us when
The weight of the world wasn’t on our shoulders yet.
But the times have changed, and you’re my biggest regret.
I miss the way we could talk about everything,
I miss you more than anything.
.
I’ve been looking for the cure to growing older,
And it’s been here all along. It’s you.
You’re everything that I hoped for, you’re everything that I dreamed of.
You could be my happily ever after, my one and only love,
So what’s holding us back? What’s keeping us from this dream?
Oh right, it’s me.
.
Peter, promise you’ll never forget me.
You’ll always be my lost boy,
But this time I can’t just take your hand.
Though nothing would bring me greater joy,
I just can’t follow you to Neverland.
.
Peter, how can I be with you if you’re not with me?
I don’t want to grow up anymore
I’ve made too many mistakes, the damage is already done.
But I’m afraid you’ll grow out of me,
That you’ll just drop me and run.
So do I take your hand and trust my heart,
Or do I keep my head out of the clouds and go right back to the start?
.
How come I’m so afraid?
My head is a mess of decisions to be made.
But what is my decision, how can I ever decide?
Whether to stay here, or to spend forever by your side?
.
Peter, promise you’ll never forget me.
You’re my one and only my lost boy,
But this time I don’t know whether to take your hand.
Though nothing could bring me greater joy,
I just might follow you to Neverland.
.
Peter, how can I be with you if you’re not with me?
I don’t want to grow up anymore
I’ve made too many mistakes, the damage is already done.
But I’m afraid you’ll grow out of me,
That you’ll just drop me and run.
So do I take your hand and trust my heart,
To only begin again right from the start?
