Forgive me, Peter My lost fearless leader In closets like cedar Preserved from when we were just kids Is it somethin' I did? The goddess of timing Once found us beguiling She said she was trying Peter, was she lying? My ribs get the feelin' she did And I didn't want to come down I thought it was just goodbye for now 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 Oh, never to keep 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 And I didn't want to hang around We said it was just goodbye for now 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 Never to keep And I won't confess that I waited But I let the lamp burn As the men masqueraded I hoped you'd return With your feet on the ground Tell me all that you'd learned 'Cause love's never lost when 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 that I tried To hold onto the days when you were mine (Hold onto the days) But the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Said you were gonna grow up You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Said you were gonna grow up 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
