I miss the look
Of sun kissed skin,
The feel of the ocean,
Your subtle grin

The way your hand
Brushed up mine
Made my heart skip a beat
Like the end of time

I feel like my world
Is crumbling down
No way to put it
You're better off now

The looks are awkward
I am confused
We were so close
But now I feel used

    I wish to go back
                    To a simpler time
                                                 When the sun beat down
                                                                                              And you were still mine

Seeing these old tapes
Makes me remember my youth
When everthing was simple
Just learning to tie my shoes

That's all we had to worry about
At that innocent age of four
I'd be pulling on the pant leg
Of my father at the door

"Daddy come play with me!"
"No, honey I have to work."
But wasn't it a Sunday?
I sighed, extremely hurt

So I went along and played with dolls
All alone and in my room
I bet my dad regrets that now
He seems to be falling to his doom

Yes Dad, I'm older now
I'm almost sixteen, I'll be driving soon
You knew this day was coming fast
Even with the worrying, I have become immune

I want to say I'll be here forever
But we both know that's not true
Soon I'll be flying from the nest
But please know, I will always love you

"Never Grow Up!" Peter Pan says
As he flies above our heads

He tries so hard to make us see
That as we grow up
We do what we believe

He's obviously a kid at heart
But aren't we all?
Just a little more smart?
