Neverland
Dizzy Sunfist Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Now this place that I am standing
I don't want to leave the stage
If I can't stay here always
I want to be a kid forever

Lately I just feel so cornered by the world
Lately I hear them say don't be so selfish
Although I can't stop worries that consumes me
No way! No way! Don't wanna grow up

I don't ever wanna lose my sight
This place, all my friends and all other things
Please don't go away
Please, won't be alone
Tell me Peter Pan how to get to neverland

Now this place that I am standing
I don't want to leave the stage
If I can't stay here always
I want to be a kid forever

As we grow up, we are held down by the future
Will we feel the distance from each other one day
This is where I am, how can it be so wrong now
No way! No way! I wanna stay in my world

I don't ever wanna lose my sight
This place, all my friends and all other things
Please don't go away
Please, won't be alone
Tell me Peter Pan how to get to neverland
(Now this place that I am standing)
(I don't want to leave the stage) Neverland!




(I want to be a kid)
Neverland! Neverland! Yeah!
