Peter Pan
Madilyn Paige Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything, you had it
I guess I had a naive heart, 'cause boy
I let you have it
You said I was your only
I never thought you'd leave me lonely
You're just a lost boy, with your head up in the clouds
You're just a lost boy, never keep your feet on the ground
You're always gonna fly away, just because you know you can
You're never gonna learn there's no such place as Neverland
You don't understand
You'll never grow up
You're never gonna be a man
Peter Pan
Deep down, I knew that you were too good to be true
But every piece and part of me wanted to believe in you
But now it's happily ever never
I guess now I know better
You're just a lost boy, with your head up in the clouds
You're just a lost boy, never keep your feet on the ground
You're always gonna fly away, just because you know you can
You're never gonna learn there's no such place as Neverland
You don't understand
You'll never grow up
You're never gonna be a man
Peter Pan
You're just a lost boy, yeah, I know who you are
You don't know what you lost, boy
You're too busy chasing stars
And you're always gonna fly away, just because you know you can
You're never gonna learn there's no such place as Neverland
You don't understand
You'll never grow up
You're never gonna be a man
Yeah, you'll never grow up
Yeah you're never gonna be a man
Peter Pan
Never gonna be a man
Madilyn Paige's song "Peter Pan" describes a young man who seems to have it all - charm, wit, and a way with words. The singer declares that she had a "naive heart," which made her believe everything the young man said. He lead her to believe that she was the only one for him, but he left her alone instead. The reason for his behavior, according to the singer, is that he's a "lost boy" who has his head up in the clouds and never keeps his feet on the ground. He's always flying away because he knows he can, but he'll never grow up to be a man.
