Everyone's on a rocket ship Leaving the earth ooh-oh-oh Shooting up so fast into the great unknown Letting go of the nursery rhymes Locked on land ooh-oh-oh Left behind in another time all alone I know that i can't be a kid forever But i know that i must live it now or never I am not like peter pan I can't live forever in a neverland But i'm not gonna grow up too fast I want my childhood to last I am not like the boys and girls Who live in their never-aging world I wanna freeze time at the drop of a hat But even i can't do that See 'em taking off I see 'em going so fast ooh-oh-oh Watch 'em leaving me behind as part of their past Putting on a cover In a world their own ooh-oh-oh With their painted faces standing all alone I know that i can't be a kid forever But i know that i must live it now or never I am not like peter pan I can't live forever in a neverland But i'm not gonna grow up too fast I want my childhood to last I am not like the boys and girls Who live in their never-aging world I wanna freeze time at the drop of a hat But even i can't do that Everyone's pushing for us to grow up But everything's happening way too fast Everything's changing it's all rearranging But you only live once I am not like peter pan I can't live forever in a neverland But i'm not gonna grow up too fast I want my childhood to last I am not like the boys and girls Who live in their never-aging world I wanna freeze time at the drop of a hat But even i can't do that
