Peter (Live From Stockholm)

[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

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 werе gonna grow up

Then you were gonna comе find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Words from the mouths of babes, promises oceans deep

But never to keep

[Post-Chorus]

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

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

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Words from the mouths of babes, promises oceans deep

But never to keep

[Post-Chorus]

But 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 return

With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you've learned

'Cause love's never lost if 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 I that I tried to

Hold on 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

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Words from the mouths of babes, promises oceans deep

But never to keep
