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
Chorus: I know that I can't be a kid forever But I know that I must live it now or never
Guys 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
Chorus
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
