The timing’s bad
So this can’t last
Is what you say
When we’re talking

I stuttered back
Pressure in my chest
Push me away
‘Cause I’m not walking

Well it’s a shame
I’ll need to change
And try
Live like I’m dying

Because I’ll never be the same
If you have to say
Life’s too short
To be waiting

Maybe there’s a chance
I’ll find something
That is this
Good again

But you suggest
That nothing is
Ever as good
As I pretend

Well maybe I’m broken
And these words I’ve spoken
Are just naive
Fantasies

With this I’m coping
But I was still hoping
That you might believe
In the same things

So maybe I am
Just peter pan
Trying to hold
A snow flake in my hands

Maybe I am
Just peter pan
Trying to hold
This snowflake in my hands

What do you have
Just a moment that will pass
Then what’s the sense in making plans
When you know nothing can last

So maybe I can’t
Stay peter pan
Trying to hold
This snowflake in my hands

But I tighten my grasp
Pray it will last
If I close my eyes
I can believe anything.
