Underneath the silent skies All the stars are out of sight On the empty street My sorrow and me Those trees have grown much taller While I was finding my way That playground seems smaller Than back in the day I knew the world I'm from The future was still to come I'm coming home Feeling unknown
I wish you could see me now (You could see me now) I think you would be proud (You would be proud) You said one day I would understand But I'm still waiting for Peter Pan I wish you could see me now (You could see me now) I think you would be proud (You would be proud) You said one day I would understand But I just want you to hold my hand
They say I'm a lot like you Wish you were here too You didn't see me growing old Didn't see me getting strong It's time for words from a sermon Time to say the last goodbyes Time for coffee and bourbon I just want our last goodnights I whisper to the ground "Thought you would always be around" Wish you were not alone In the great unknown
I wish you could see me now (You could see me now) I think you would be proud (You would be proud) You said one day I would understand But I'm still waiting for Peter Pan I wish you could see me now (You could see me now) I think you would be proud (You would be proud) You said one day I would understand But I just want you to hold my hand Hold my hand
