Everyone’s on a rocket ship Leaving the earth ooh-oh-oh Shooting up so fast into the great unknown Letting go of the nursery rhymes Locked on land ooh-oh-oh Left behind in another time all alone
I know that I can’t be a kid forever But I know that I must live it now or never
I am not like Peter Pan I can’t live forever in a Neverland But I’m not gonna grow up too fast I want my childhood to last I am not like the boys and girls Who live in their never-aging world I wanna freeze time at the drop of a hat But even I can’t do that
See ‘em taking off I see ‘em going so fast ooh-oh-oh Watch ‘em leaving me behind as part of their past Putting on a cover In a world their own ooh-oh-oh With their painted faces standing all alone
I know that I can’t be a kid forever But I know that I must live it now or never
I am not like Peter Pan I can’t live forever in a Neverland But I’m not gonna grow up too fast I want my childhood to last I am not like the boys and girls Who live in their never-aging world I wanna freeze time at the drop of a hat But even I can’t do that
Everyone’s pushing for us to grow up But everything’s happening way too fast Everything’s changing it’s all rearranging But you only live once
I am not like Peter Pan I can’t live forever in a Neverland But I’m not gonna grow up too fast I want my childhood to last I am not like the boys and girls Who live in their never-aging world I wanna freeze time at the drop of a hat But even I can’t do that
