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 And I keep on waiting to wade from my dreamscape but really what for, what for, what for, 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 I keep tryna fly cause I still think I can Ooo 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 futures 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 build a house for the weekdays, but I'm building a fort And I keep on waiting to wait from my dreamscape but really what for, what for, what for, 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 I keep tryna fly cause I still think I can Ooo cause you can't take the boy from Neverland 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 Ooo cause you can't take the boy from Neverland
