lyrics

LYRICS:
Grow up?! For the lost boys. For the dreamers of dreams. For youth. Because I still remember when we thought we could make a difference and were the advocates of change. But all that changed is that we changed and went our separate ways. So now I see you spend your days working hard, embittered. Guess youth was just a phase and you made your peace with it.
But I remember those days, nights of living desperately. Trying to outlive our time. All so afraid of ordinary life. It seems like you have caught up this time. It must have been your price to pay. And even though it has been years, it still seems like yesterday, we sang: never growing up, never growing old. Take me to Neverland, before I am out of happy thoughts. Never growing up, never to grow old. Because those who grow up eventually must go...
And I don't know if I can do so. Part with the life I used to know. Bid farewell to the ones I used to love. That is something you cannot ask of me. I have seen it happen to you and what it turned you into. From the top of my lungs, the bottom of my beating heart. I cannot do this, was never meant to grow up. Now twenty something years old, but still a kid at heart. Twenty something years old, but still that kid at heart. Now twenty something years old, but still a kid at heart. Twenty something years old, but at heart I am still that kid. I am still that kid. I am still that kid at heart.
