Forgive me, Peter My lost fearless leader In closets like cedar Preserved from when we were just kids Is it something I did?
The goddess of timing Once found us beguiling She said she was trying Peter, was she lying? My ribs get the feeling she did
And I didn´t wanna come down I thought it was just goodbye for now
You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Words from the mouths of babes Promises oceans deep But never to keep
Oh, never to keep
Are you still a mind reader? A natural scene stealer? I´ve heard great things, Peter But life was always easier on you Than it was on me And sometimes it gets me When crossing your jet stream We both did the best we could do Underneath the same moon In different galaxies
And I didn´t wanna hang around We said it was just goodbye for now
You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Words from the mouths of babes Promises oceans deep But never to keep Never to keep
And I won´t confess that I waited, but I let the lamp burn As the men masqueraded, I hoped you´d return With your feet on the ground, tell me all that you´d learned ´Cause love´s never lost when perspective is earned And you said you´d come and get me, but you were twenty-five
And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired Lost to the "Lost Boys" chapter of your life Forgive me, Peter, please know that I tried To hold on (Hold on) to the days (To the days) When you were mine But the woman who sits by the window Has turned out the light
You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Said you were gonna grow up You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Said you were gonna grow up You said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up Then you were gonna come find me Words from the mouths of babes Promises oceans deep But never to keep
Traduction
Pardonne-moi, Peter Mon leader intrépide perdu Dans des placards comme du cèdre Préservé depuis notre enfance Est-ce quelque chose que j´ai fait ?
La déesse du timing Nous a autrefois trouvé charmants Elle a dit qu´elle essayait Peter, mentait-elle ? J´ai l´impression dans mes côtes qu´elle l´a fait
Et je ne voulais pas redescendre Je pensais que c´était juste un au revoir pour l´instant
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir Puis que tu allais venir me chercher Tu as dit que tu allais grandir Puis que tu allais venir me chercher Tu as dit que tu allais grandir Puis que tu allais venir me chercher Des mots sortis de la bouche des enfants
Des promesses profondes comme les océans Mais jamais tenues Oh, jamais tenues
Es-tu toujours un lecteur de pensées ? Un voleur de scène naturel ? J´ai entendu de grandes choses, Peter Mais la vie a toujours été plus facile pour toi Que pour moi Et parfois ça me touche Quand je traverse ton jet stream Nous avons tous deux fait de notre mieux Sous la même lune Dans différentes galaxies
Et je ne voulais pas rester On a dit que c´était juste un au revoir pour l´instant
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir Puis que tu allais venir me chercher Tu as dit que tu allais grandir Puis que tu allais venir me chercher Tu as dit que tu allais grandir Puis que tu allais venir me chercher Des mots sortis de la bouche des enfants Des promesses profondes comme les océans Mais jamais tenues Jamais tenues
Et je ne vais pas avouer que j´ai attendu, mais j´ai laissé la lampe brûler Alors que les hommes se déguisaient, j´espérais que tu reviendrais Avec les pieds sur terre, dis-moi tout ce que tu as appris
Car l´amour n´est jamais perdu quand la perspective est acquise Et tu as dit que tu viendrais me chercher, mais tu avais vingt-cinq ans Et la durée de vie de ces fantasmes a expiré Perdu pour le chapitre des "Garçons perdus" de ta vie Pardonne-moi, Peter, sache que j´ai essayé De m´accrocher (M´accrocher) aux jours (Aux jours) Où tu étais à moi Mais la femme qui s´assoit près de la fenêtre A éteint la lumière
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir Puis que tu allais venir me chercher Tu as dit que tu allais grandir Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis que tu allais venir me chercher Tu as dit que tu allais grandir Tu as dit que tu allais grandir Puis que tu allais venir me chercher Tu as dit que tu allais grandir Puis que tu allais venir me chercher Tu as dit que tu allais grandir Puis que tu allais venir me chercher Des mots sortis de la bouche des enfants Des promesses profondes comme les océans Mais jamais tenues
