About This Track

‘Peter Pan’ by Arcade Fire is an alternative track from the album ‘Everything Now’, released in 2017. The lyrics use a dreamlike address to someone in danger, turning waking panic into a plea for forever-ness, promises, and forgiveness. There’s a sense of being unable to stop grieving, with devotion and love framed as both comfort and burden, summed up in the question of how to carry “so much love”. The song also nods to surrender and release through its simple, insistent refrain of singing, as if emotion itself is the only agreement that can hold.

"Peter Pan" is a single by Arcade Fire, from the album Everything Now, released 26th July 2017. The track is 2:49 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 20 articles about Arcade Fire.

Lyrics

Peter Pan

In my dreams, you're dyin'
It wakes me up, and I can't stop cryin'
I just wanna live forever
Keep my promises, keep it together

In my dreams you're livin'
Open your eyes, and I wake up forgiven
Just a little somethin' to thin the blood
How can I live with so much love?

Singin'

Be my Wendy, I'll be your Peter Pan
Come on, baby, take my hand
We can walk, if you don't feel like flyin'
We can live, I don't feel like dyin'
Be my Wendy, I'll be your Peter Pan
Come on, baby, ain't got no plans
Boys and girls got all the answers
Men and women keep growin' their cancers

Singin'

In my dreams, we're kissin'
It wakes me up, but you've gone missin'
Born so close, but we grow apart
And all the sickness starts in the heart

In my dreams you're dyin'
It wakes me up, and I can't stop cryin'
'Cause it's a date night, dead-eyed American dream
And it leaves you, baby, if you let it leave

Singin'

Be my Wendy, I'll be your Peter Pan
Come on, baby, take my hand
We can walk, if you don't feel like flyin'
We can live, I don't feel like dyin'
Be my Wendy, I'll be your Peter Pan
Come on, baby, ain't got no plans
A little somethin' to thin the blood
How can I live with so much love?

Singin'
