Peter Pan Was Right Lyrics
I guess Peter Pan was right
Growing up's a waste of time
So I think I'll fly away
Set a course for brighter days
Find the second star, I'm soaring
Then straight on to the morning
I know that I'll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
Just a lost boy in a small town
I'm the same kid but I'm grown now
Try'na make it out, but I don't know how
Wish that I was young, what have I become?
Now it's late night and I'm at home
So I'll make friends with my shadow
And play him all the sad, sad songs
We don't talk, but he sings along like
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Fairytales are not the truth
What am I supposed to do? (Mm-mm, mm)
I guess Peter Pan was right
Growing up's a waste of time
So I think I'll fly away
Set a course for brightеr days
Find the second star, I'm soaring
Then straight on to thе morning
I know that I'll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
Days feel like a blur now
Still feel, eighteen, but I'm burnt out
So I daydream of what I could be
If I turn back time to a storyline where my
Mom read me a tale where
A couple kids, one girl and a sailor
Met a boy in green, I thought it'd be me
But I guess that dream wasn't meant to be like
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Fairytales are not the truth
What am I supposed to do? (Mm-mm, mm)
I guess Peter Pan was right
Growing up's a waste of time
So I think I'll fly away
Set a course for brighter days
Find the second star, I'm soaring
Then straight on to the morning
I know that I'll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
And I don't care if I never land
'Cause the distant sky's always better than
My life right now and the place I am
So for one last time, I guess Peter Pan...
I guess Peter Pan was right
Growing up's a waste of time
So I think I'll fly away
Set a course for brighter days
Find the second star, I'm soaring
Then straight on to the morning
I know that I'll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
Growing up's a waste of time
So I think I'll fly away
Set a course for brighter days
Find the second star, I'm soaring
Then straight on to the morning
I know that I'll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
I'm the same kid but I'm grown now
Try'na make it out, but I don't know how
Wish that I was young, what have I become?
Now it's late night and I'm at home
So I'll make friends with my shadow
And play him all the sad, sad songs
We don't talk, but he sings along like
Fairytales are not the truth
What am I supposed to do? (Mm-mm, mm)
Growing up's a waste of time
So I think I'll fly away
Set a course for brightеr days
Find the second star, I'm soaring
Then straight on to thе morning
I know that I'll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
Still feel, eighteen, but I'm burnt out
So I daydream of what I could be
If I turn back time to a storyline where my
Mom read me a tale where
A couple kids, one girl and a sailor
Met a boy in green, I thought it'd be me
But I guess that dream wasn't meant to be like
Fairytales are not the truth
What am I supposed to do? (Mm-mm, mm)
Growing up's a waste of time
So I think I'll fly away
Set a course for brighter days
Find the second star, I'm soaring
Then straight on to the morning
I know that I'll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right
'Cause the distant sky's always better than
My life right now and the place I am
So for one last time, I guess Peter Pan...
Growing up's a waste of time
So I think I'll fly away
Set a course for brighter days
Find the second star, I'm soaring
Then straight on to the morning
I know that I'll be fine
'Cause I know Peter Pan was right

It sounds suicidal, like he is lonely & doesn’t want to grow up, so he wants to give up….unless I’m just reading into the lyrics wrong.
