lyrics

The story of the boy in the man,
Peter Pan tugging on his sleeve.
Saw their ring-around-the-rosie
Swell into a cyclone and blow across the sea.

That knotted mess washed up in your land
And fit like a thimble in your hand.
You said you liked his make believe.
He told you it’s easy, follow me.

And they rode their dream past borders,
Past the past that pleads for freedom.
Calling out to time’s cold cleaver
To cut the old loose from the new.

But what a failure, in the man who said that he wanted love
Is a boy who whispers so lowly that he is gonna destroy it all.
I bet he runs away like a child tired of playing their grown-up game.

Well, it's his famous fly away.
It’s not a bird, no, it’s his famous fly away.
It’s not unheard of, no, it’s his famous fly away.
Just another lost boy, it’s his turn to fly away.

So there before endless ways he waits
Much like a criminal waits for his fate.
He is a deer struck dumb by the light of day.
He’s frozen in by choice.

By the boy who runs in circles
Through the temples and the dark rooms,
And the old men snoring love songs
Passed out on something new.

But what a failure, in the man who said that he wanted love
Is a boy who whispers so lowly that he is gonna destroy it all.
I bet he runs away like a child tired of playing their grown up game.

Well, it's his famous fly away.
It’s not a bird, no, it’s his famous fly away.
It’s not unheard of, no, it’s his famous fly away.
Just another lost boy, it’s his turn to fly away.

The story of the boy in the man,
Peter Pan tugging on his sleeve.
