Neverland

I wrote this in November/December of my senior year. It's been a constant reminder for me of how much I've grown up.

I walked in with no intentions of ever leaving
Because everyone knows when you grow up you stop believing
I found all the strength I needed in you
I gave my all and you gave yours too
Inevitable, the future is unwinding
Fear takes the place of the hope we've been finding
Could we stop this change for just awhile
Escape the ticking crocodile

There's a place where imagination unfolds
Where Peter Pan never has to grow old
There's a place where time stands still
Lost boys refuse to be men so they never will
Let's pretend it's not all in my mind
Pack up and leave this town behind
Run away and meet me there tonight
Second star to the right

We're just kids forced to grow up too soon
Too big of an imagination for these tiny rooms
Wendy felt it, now I'm feeling it too
But I'm finding all the strenght I need in you
Everything's spinning as we're trying to stand
With our hearts still anchored in Neverland
Could we stop this change for just awhile
Escape the ticking crocodile

There's a place where imagination unfolds
Where Peter Pan never has to grow old
There's a place where time stands still
Lost boys refuse to be men so they never will
Let's pretend it's not all in my mind
Pack up and leave this town behind
Run away and meet me there tonight
Second star to the right

Well let's see them try
Try to take our wings and tell us not to fly
It's hard walking blindly into a future we can't trust
Sometimes everyone needs a little pixie dust

There's a place where imagination unfolds
Where Peter Pan never has to grow old
There's a place where time stands still
Lost boys refuse to be men so they never will
Let's pretend it's not all in my mind
There's a place where imagination unfolds
Where Peter Pan never has to grow old
There's a place where time stands still
Lost boys refuse to be men so they never will
Let's pretend it's not all in my mind
Pack up and leave this town behind
Run away and meet me there tonight
Second star to the right

I'll walk through these doors one last time
But I'll keep a piece of Neverland inside
