Peter - Taylor Swift

Forgive me Peter

My lost fearless leader

In closets like cedar

Preserved from when we were just kids

Is it somethin' I did

The goddess of timing

Once found us beguiling

She said she was trying

Peter was she lying

My ribs get the feelin' she did

And I didn't want to come down

I thought it was just goodbye for now

You said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Words from the mouths of babes

Promises oceans deep

But never to keep

Oh never to keep

Are you still a mind reader

A natural scene stealer

I've heard great things Peter

But life was always easier on you

Than it was on me

And sometimes it gets me

When crossing your jet stream

We both did the best we could do underneath the same moon

In different galaxies

And I didn't want to hang around

We said it was just goodbye for now

You said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Words from the mouths of babes

Promises oceans deep

But never to keep

Never to keep

And I won't confess that I waited

But I let the lamp burn

As the men masqueraded

I hoped you'd return

With your feet on the ground

Tell me all that you'd learned

'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned

And you said you'd come and get me but you were twenty-five

And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired

Lost to the Lost Boys chapter of your life

Forgive me Peter please know that I tried

To hold on to the days when you were mine

But the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light

You said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

You said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

You said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Said you were gonna grow up

Then you were gonna come find me

Words from the mouths of babes

Promises oceans deep

But never to keep
