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

(We're in Neverland)

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...
