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
