Neverland

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

(Oh, oh-oh-oh)

And I keep on waiting to wade from my dreamscape

But really what for?

What for? What for? (Oh, oh-oh-oh)

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, yeah

(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

I keep tryna fly cause I still think I can

(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Ooh, '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 future's 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's built a house for the weekdays

But I'm building a fort

(Oh, oh-oh-oh)

And I keep on waiting to wade from my dreamscape

But really what for?

What for? What for? (Oh, oh-oh-oh)

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, yeah

(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

I keep tryna fly cause I still think I can

(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Ooh, 'cause you can't take the boy from Neverland

Son, you gotta grow up, you gotta go (Oh, oh-oh-oh)

Reach a little higher

It's time to get serious (Oh-oh-oh)

Experience

Will take you from a boy into a man

Son, the years add up and downright (Oh, oh-oh-oh)

Fly by like the wind

I'll stay glorious (Oh-oh-oh)

'Cause you can't take the boy from Neverland

(Ooh)

Ooh, 'cause you can't take the boy from Neverland
