I never really had a good answer, and honestly why should I?

I'm not gonna solve world hunger, or find a cure for cancer

I'm gonna be safe, have fun, and I'm gonna get the job done

When I grow up, I'm going to love… you…

Being a grown up sounds awful, do I even want to? I don't think so

Em                            G
Like Peter Pan in Neverland, I'll stay for all my life

I'm not afraid of the Sun, I'd rather be Icarus
