You will always be a child
You will always want for something more
Something different
Something better
(Darling, no)
But while your head is in the clouds
While your feet are off the floor
I am below
And I see there is so much life on the ground
There is so much good on the ground
But no matter how I tried
You just stayed a boy inside
Never tied to the ground
(Doesn't every person deserve a second chance?)
You taught me love could be desire
Breathless fire like that I made with you
All consuming, overwhelming, happy madness full of passion
But passion passes and it floats through the air into the sky with you
And maybe love is what is left on the ground
Love is where I am on the ground
It's inflexible as steel
And it's never quite ideal
But mine was real on the ground
Oh if life were just easy, easy
If love were all fun
If the going were breezy, breezy then you'd never run
So stay young and careless
Beautiful boy with the scars
Never let those who are airless
Keep you from reaching for stars
But this time I must stay on the ground
I must find my way on the ground
And I'll grow as children do
As all people will but you
And... somehow I'll get through on the ground
Go now, Peter, fly away
But if some night you return
I will be here
We will be here
And what I'll do
I will leave the window open
Love, I'll leave the window open
For you
(Lost boy. You're a lost boy)
