[Intro: Ruth B]

There was a time when I was alone

Nowhere to go and no place to call home

My only friend was the man in the moon

And even sometimes he would go away too

Then one night, as I closed my eyes

I saw a shadow flying high

He came to me with the sweetest smile

Told me he wanted to talk for a while

He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me

I promise that you'll never be lonely"

And ever since that day

Blulake


[Chorus: Abstract & Ruth B]

Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me)

I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)

Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me)

I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)

Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me)

I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)


[Post-Chorus: Ruth B]

And ever since that day


[Verse 1: Abstract]

In these fast times, chasing lifelines for a lifetime

I've had my heart in the right place at the wrong time

With the right girl in another world, maybe we would be together still

If you hear this and resent that, I don't give a shit, I'll let it spill

I don't give a damn, I'll keep it real

'Cause by now I hope you know the drill

I would never lie; young forever, I ain't ever gonna die

Told me, "Grow up," but I went and showed 'em why

I could make it, I showed 'em the power in youth, power in truth

The younger you stay, the closer you are to your roots, that's the reason I do

I can teach you how to hit the skies

Rise above 'em without getting high

But if it help a bit, take a lil' hit

Take a lil' sip, put your mind at ease

Swear you got the keys, you can have your dreams

That's up to you, not what others believe, jeez

I swear that's the part that took longest for me

'Cause when I drop into a beat

I detach from the world, view it under my feet

Orbit around with my dreams and there I perceive my reality and what it means

Music is where I can breathe, a world in between

What I am, what I was, what I will be

It's the only place that I feel free, hope you feel me


[Pre-Chorus: Ruth B]

I am a lost boy from Neverland

Usually hanging out with Peter Pan

And when we're bored, we play in the woods

Always on the run from Captain Hook

"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me

Away from all of reality, he said


[Chorus: Ruth B]

Peter Pan, that's what they call me

I promise that you'll never be lonely

Peter Pan, that's what they call me

I promise that you'll never be lonely

Peter Pan, that's what they call me

I promise that you'll never be lonely


[Post-Chorus: Ruth B]

And ever since that day


[Verse 2: Abstract]

You ain't ever gotta be alone

I found company inside a song

Take it off your chest, throw it in a poem

If they try to flex, show 'em where you going

Hating on your past, kill 'em with your moment

When you get the chance, drive it like you stole it

She said, "I don't want to grow up

I gotta go keep my passions alive

Please say you've heard of a place I can fly

Where nothing's impossible, that's where I gotta go"

They said the only way up was to get in line

I'm telling you that somebody lied

As someone who's been to the other side

Blurring the lines between earth and mind

She's a lost girl in a lost world, but I know what she's tryna find

Some call it music; I call it Neverland

Where we can take flight and don't have to ever land

You could stay young forever if you follow your heart

Know a nine-to-five tear the soul apart

Keep it safe, you can keep your soul in art

We can't live a lie, we would rather die

If I don't live for this, I am not alive

I don't deserve the breath, I don't deserve the steps

Don't deserve the criticism or compliments

This is who I am, this is what I do

Outside of Neverland, I don't have a clue

They call us lost, but this is the place where I was found

Take my hand, Wendy, we're home now


[Pre-Chorus: Ruth B]

I am a lost boy from Neverland

Usually hanging out with Peter Pan

And when we're bored, we play in the woods

Always on the run from Captain Hook

"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me

Away from all of reality


[Chorus: Abstract & Ruth B]

Peter Pan, that's what they call me (They call me)

I promise that you'll never be lonely (Be lonely, be lonely)

Peter Pan, that's what they call me (They call me)

I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)

Peter Pan, that's what they call me (They call-all-all)

I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)


[Post-Chorus: Ruth B]

And ever since that day


[Outro: Ruth B]

Neverland is home to lost boys like me

And lost boys like me are free

Neverland is home to lost boys like me

And lost boys like me are free (Free, free, free)
