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
