about

This was the second released track off the album and is here to remind us about what's really important; the family of friends we create. "Everyone is in a hurry/ To find someone/ To make things work/ And somehow friends/ Are lost and left behind".

lyrics

You know that feeling
When everyone is on cloud 9
And you’re the little boy
Left behind
Trying to play the part
Fit into these shoes
When you look down
And just see what’s to lose

Peter Pan was right
Everyone is in a hurry
To find someone
To make things work
And somehow friends
Are lost and left behind
And I’m Peter Pan waiting in the wings
Hoping you all slow down
Don’t you realize that you’re missing
What’s really going down

Cuz when I think about growing up
I think of all the doubts
I remember now
What you were all about
How real the pain was
How much I had
To give up— I mean grow for you
How u only liked me on my knees
Constantly apologizing
How when I was sorry
And I was always sorry
You got off on making me crawl

And how my friend got lost and left behind
How when these things happen friends are hard to find

I try to explain
What it was like
that being with you
Was like playing 2 truths and a lie
Tell me which version of you
Do I get this time

And I survived 27
Just in time
And those friends were hard to find

But atleast I figured out
The truth
In your lie
It was that Peter Pan was right
Peter Pan was right

Everyone is in a hurry
To find someone
To make things work
And somehow friends
Are lost and left behind
And I’m Peter Pan waiting in the wings
Hoping you all slow down
Don’t you realize that you’re missing
You’re missing what it’s really all about
Don’t you realize
You’ve left me out
