Neverland

I've been tryna fill these big shoes
Tryna tie them with no laces
Every morning I look for the good news
But barely skim the pages

It's like if I don't try I won't make it
'Cause my head's deep in the sand pit
And I burn through every payslip
And wonder where all my money's gone
If I don't look I won't find it
Dig my head deep in the sand pit
'Cause inside I'm still a shy kid
Stealing dreams like a bandit on the run

'Cause all of my friends only carry a briefcase
I carry a torch
Like everyone's built a house for the weekdays
But I'm building a fort
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
And I keep on waiting to wade from my dreamscape
But really what for?
What for? What for? (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
But really what for?

Son, you gotta grow up, you gotta go
Reach a little higher
It's time to get serious
Experience
Will take you from a boy into a man
Son, the years add up and downright, fly by like the wind
I'll stay glorious
Notorious
'Cause you can't take the boy from Neverland, yeah
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I keep tryna fly cause I still think I can
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Ooh, 'cause you can't take the boy from Neverland

Oh, I keep trying to go for the gold star
Impress my parents and bring home straight A's
As if my life could be told in report cards
But kind of wish it could somedays

'Cause if I be perfect high achiever
But I'm nervous that I'm neither
'Cause I'm burning with the fever
And nothing's able to put me out
So, will I ever just feel it?
The things I want to feel and
This future's not appealing
So maybe I'll just stay forever young

'Cause all of my friends only carry a briefcase
I carry a torch
Like everyone's built a house for the weekdays
But I'm building a fort
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
And I keep on waiting to wade from my dreamscape
But really what for?
What for? What for? (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
But really what for?

Son, you gotta grow up, you gotta go
Reach a little higher
It's time to get serious
Experience
Will take you from a boy into a man
Son, the years add up and downright, fly by like the wind
I'll stay glorious
Notorious
'Cause you can't take the boy from Neverland, yeah
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
I keep tryna fly cause I still think I can
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
Ooh, 'cause you can't take the boy from Neverland

Son, you gotta grow up, you gotta go (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Reach a little higher
It's time to get serious (Oh-oh-oh)
Experience
Will take you from a boy into a man
Son, the years add up and downright (Oh, oh-oh-oh)
Fly by like the wind
I'll stay glorious (Oh-oh-oh)
Notorious
'Cause you can't take the boy from Neverland
(Ooh)
Ooh, 'cause you can't take the boy from Neverland
