Neverland
Chance Waters Lyrics

He spend so long trying not to grow up
The person in question has been deliberately avoiding the growth process.

Somehow he missed watching the other flowers open up
The person has missed out on several experiences that come with growing up.

Me too, I feel I say that for the both of us
The singer also confesses to having similar experiences to the addressee.

Difference is I never take it out on those I love
Contrary to the addressee, the artist does not take out his frustrations on his loved ones.

I know I really barely have a picture of it
Despite not having a clear picture of the addressee's situation, the artist still understands it.

But trust me man, I could relate to daddy problems
The singer can relate to the addressee's father issues.

So I don't know if you're just trying to be a monster
The singer suspects that the addressee is deliberately being difficult.

To prove to him at least you could be something
The addressee is trying to prove a point to his absent father.

But I have never seen a face quite as scared as your sister's
The artist recalls seeing the addressee's sister with a terrified expression.

If I never saw that fear again I would never miss it
The artist would prefer to never witness such fear in someone again.

I really hope you never beg her for forgiveness
The singer hopes that the addressee does not request forgiveness from his sister.

Because I know in my heart she would give it
Even though the addressee wronged his sister, the artist is confidant that she would forgive him.

Despite the fact you stole her childhood in bits
The addressee took away parts of his sister's childhood.

And used a few boxes from her to feed your addiction
The addressee resorted to using his sister's belongings to fuel his addiction.

You took more from her than some things that went missing
The addressee stole more than just some of his sister's things. He also robbed her of her trust.

You stole from her her trust and her siblings
The addressee took away both his sister's trust and her relationship with her other siblings.

But everyone's afraid you'd go to neverland
There is a general fear of the addressee's reluctance to grow up.

We fear you might leave this earth and never land
There is a concern that the addressee might refuse to time to develop as a person.

You don't wanna grow into a better man
The addressee shows no desire to become a better person.

You just wanna stay the same
The addressee prefers to remain stagnant rather than growth and learn.

And really when it's all been said and done
After everything that has occurred and all arguments have been made.

Everyone's afraid of setting suns
There is a general fear of things coming to an end.

But I would rather walk and never run
The singer would rather take his time than rush through life.

Than stay and put my faith in neverland
The artist does not believe in refusing to grow up and settling in 'neverland'.

And I don't wanna grow old either
Like the addressee, the singer does not want to grow too old too fast.

But that's no reason to feel like you've been slighted
However, the singer doesn't feel that excuses the addressee's bad behavior towards his family.

To treat your family like you're in different sides
The addressee treats his family like they are not on his side.

And only fix your side to the horizon
The addressee only focuses on his own perspective and does not see things from other people's vantage points.

But I still like to think if you could see what you've done
The artist hopes that the addressee would realize the damage he has done to those around him.

To the people that you love
The addressee's actions have hurt the people he cares about.

You would change and stop fighting
If he acknowledges the damage done, the addressee could change his ways.

But of anyone like you're blaming on your mum
The addressee appears to be placing blame on his mother.

Whilst she's the only one who's still on your side man
Ironically, his mother is the only one still supportive of his actions.

I don't understand that, find it disappointing
The artist is disappointed by the addressee's misguided blame on his mother.

Almost feels to me like you are just afraid of choices
The singer feels that the addressee's behavior is rooted in fear of making choices in life.

And these are tricks that you've learn to avoid them
The addressee has learned how to avoid making choices by using certain manipulative tactics.

By how to point fingers and speak in loud voices
His tactics include blame-shifting and using aggression to drown out other voices.

But honestly that would only feed your suffering
The addressee's continued use of such tactics will only bring him more pain and suffering.

Lost boys have to grow into someone
Even though there is a fear of growing up, it is still the natural progression of life.

Or come midnight that couch would be your pumpkin
If he doesn't grow up and make choices, his life will continue to be unfulfilling and disappointing.

And nobody will owe you nothing
Ultimately, his life may become so empty that no one will want anything to do with him.

Some boys have to grow up slow
Some individuals take longer to mature than others.

Some boys never really grow old
Some people refuse to grow up and mature.

He traded in his living hell for tinkerbell
The addressee traded in his troubles for a form of escapism.

Got lost, never really came home
However, this escapism further distances the addressee from reality, making it harder for him to come to terms with his struggles.
