Charlotte Swarbrick - Neverland Lyrics

She stares out the window pane
Wondering just how much her life will change
Growing up's more scary than you think
She doesn't feel ready yet
She doesn't want her childhood to end
She'd much rather play pretend

But time is moving way too fast
She doesn't know how to make her childhood last

And soon she'll be in the big wide world
Where people say things that harm and hurt
And she'll have to face them on her own
And maybe she'll pretend to be Peter Pan
And fly away to Neverland
But one day she'll have to accept
That she has grown up

She doesn't know what the future holds
She's stepping out into the unknown
It's time for her to fly the nest and leave home
She can't believe it's here at last
Eighteen years has gone so fast
It seems like only yesterday she was aged three dressed in a baseball cap

But time just isn't on her side
It's time to spread her wings and fly

Cos soon she'll be in the big wide world
Where people say things that harm and hurt
And she'll have to face them on her own
And maybe she'll pretend to be Peter Pan
And fly away to Neverland
But one day she'll have to accept
That she has grown up

People tell her that she needs to be
Living in her own world, in reality
You're growing up, you're eighteen
Can't you see
You can no longer live your days in the world of fantasy

Cos soon she'll be in the big wide world
Where people say things that harm and hurt
And she'll have to face them on her own
And she'll still be wishing on that second star
Cos Neverland can't be that far where
She can fight pirates on her own
And maybe she'll pretend to be Peter Pan
And fly away to Neverland
But one day she'll have to accept
That she has grown up

Maybe I'll pretend to be Peter Pan
And fly away to Neverland
But one day I'll have to accept
That I have grown up
