Lost Girl

Song: Lost Boy

Artist: Ruth B.

 

I love Peter Pan. I have for a very, very long time. I'll be honest, I probably have "Peter Pan Syndrome." Anyone remember the "Michael and Me" series I did back in September/October of last year? I did a whole post on mine and Michael's shared love for Peter. I totally get why Michael Jackson loved this character so much. Everyone else seemed to think he was crazy and weird for it, but not me. It was actually nice for me, to read, hear and see someone else "get" that. It just happened to be the most famous man who ever lived.

 

"I am Peter Pan....in my heart."

 

I youtubed "Peter Pan lyrics" the other day. Just because I wanted to. And I found this song. It's by some random girl on youtube who is famous on Vine? I don't know, that is something I totally just don't get. "Famous because of Vine." I get how someone could be considered "famous" on youtube, but Vine? That's kind of ridiculous to me. Whatever. Social Media is getting more and more ridiculous. That's why I like to stick to "old fashioned" forms of social media like blogs. They're the most practical. And fun. And useful. Anyway, I'm rambling.

 

I like this song. I connected with it immediately. I am in the middle of a very confusing, difficult and just weird time in my life. It seems like I just keep hitting more lows. When do I get to rise to the top? Instead of always being just "down, down, down? Way too low.... I can't pull up anymore." Anyone recognize that song? That post? Does anyone even read my blog? Anyone even following it? Even a little bit? I've had it for almost two years now. Anyone?

 

I feel like a "lost boy" so to speak. "Lost girl" is more accurate. I feel lonely. Very, very lonely. And scared. Of the future. Of growing up. Of everything. I daydream. A lot. I imagine a different life for myself. A different me. I make up these fantastic stories in my head. Where everyone knows me. And everyone likes me. And everyone loves me. And then I have to face reality. And it sucks.

 

There was a time when I was alone

Nowhere to go and no place to call home

My only friend was the man in the moon

And even sometimes he would go away, too

Then one night, as I closed my eyes

I saw a shadow flying high

He came to me with the sweetest smile

Told me he wanted to talk for awhile

He said, "Peter Pan—that's what they call me.

I promise that you'll never be lonely."

And ever since that day...

I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me.
Away from all of reality

Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free [2x]

He sprinkled me in pixie dust and told me to believe

Believe in him and believe in me

Together we will fly away in a cloud of green

To your beautiful destiny

As we soared above the town that never loved me

I realized I finally had a family

Soon enough we reached Neverland

Peacefully my feet hit the sand

And ever since that day...

I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me.
Away from all of reality

Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free [2x]

Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy Darling

Even Captain Hook

You are my perfect story book

Neverland, I love you so,

You are now my home sweet home

Forever a lost boy at last [2x]

And for always I will say...

I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me.
Away from all of reality

Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free [2x]
