lyric analysis

Say goodbye to the halls and the classes
Say hello to a job and the taxes
The weekends with old friends spilling into 9 to 5 routine
Tell me how you feel over and done with
Like your life is a map with no compass to guide,
At the bar drinkin’ way too much
We sing along to "Forever Young".
So here we go again
Wishin’ we could start again
Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy
Don’t you see what you do to me?
I wanna be your lost boy
Your last chance, a better reality
Wendy we can get away
I promise if you’re with me, say the word and we’ll find a way
I can be your lost boy, your last chance
Your "everything better" plan
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
(Somewhere in Neverland)
We’ll start a life of the plain and the simple
Of great times with far better people
And weekends with our friends
Laughing about the wine that stains their teeth
We’ll talk about how your parents separated and
How you don’t wanna make the same mistakes as them
I’ll say it’s all about stickin’ it out
And trying to feel forever young
So here we go again
Wishin’ we could start again
Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy
Don’t you see what you do to me?
I want to be your lost boy
Your last chance, a better reality
Wendy we can get away
I promise if you’re with me, say the word and we’ll find a way
I can be your lost boy, your last chance
Your "everything better" plan
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
So here we go again
Wishin’ we could start again

Wendy run away with me
I know I sound crazy
Don’t you see what you do to me?
I want to be your lost boy
Your last chance, a better reality
Wendy we can get away
I promise if you’re with me, say the word and we’ll find a way
I can be your lost boy, your last chance
Your "everything better" plan
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
Oh, somewhere in Neverland
(Somewhere in Neverland)

• Talking about leaving college, growing up and getting a job and losing alot of your social life.
• Feeing lost in life and dont know what direction to take also feel like your life has come to an end and tere isnt much else to do other than work and try to have fun at the weekends.
• Saying how he wishes that he could start his life again. Possibly so he could chage things hes done wrong or just to have a more sucessful life or social life.
• The chorus asking someon (possibly his grlfriend or someone he loves) to run away with him and maybe start a new life of thier own away from everything else to make a fresh start. Also makes a reference to peter pan with lines such as "i can be your lost boy" as well as the name of the song its self and a line in the chours of "somewhere in neverland"
• Promising a new life with new people aside from the normal work colleagues in his normal day and life. also a juxtaposing line as he says "weekends with our friends laughing about the wine that stains thier teeth" promising amd dreaing of a better social life and more time with thier friends instead of it being taken up by work.
• Saying how thier relationship will be better than her parents because they seperated meaning that he is promising that thier relationship will last and this is reinforced by when he says "ill say its all about sticking it out" meaning that no matter what happens they will stick together as well as instead of saying "singing forever young" he says "tring to be forever young" whch again ties in with th theme of peter pan and the lost boys.

Song length: 3:47
