I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care

But it's so cold and I don't know where

I brought you daffodils in a pretty string

But they won't flower like they did last spring

 

And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright

I'm just so tired to share my nights

I wanna cry and I wanna love

But all my tears have been used up

 

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

 

Oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

 

And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight

But my hand's been broken, one too many times

So I'll use my voice, I'll be so fucking rude

Words they always win, but I know I'll lose

 

And I'd sing a song, that'd be just ours

But I sang 'em all to another heart

And I wanna cry, I wanna learn to love

But all my tears have been used up

 

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

Oh oh

 

I wanna sing a song, that'd be just ours

But I sang 'em all to another heart

And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love

But all my tears have been used up

 

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been

 used up

On another love, another love

All my tears have been used up oh oh, oh!

There was a time when I was alone

No where 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 a while

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

Neverland is home to lost boys like me

And lost boys like me are free

 

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

Neverland is home to lost boys like me

And Lost Boys like me are free

 

Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy darlin

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

 

Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Wendy darlin

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

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

Neverland is home to Lost Boys like me

And Lost Boys like me are free.

Swinging in the backyard

Pull up in your fast car

Whistling my name

 

Open up a beer

And you say, "Get over here

And play a video game"

 

I'm in his favourite sundress

Watchin' me get undressed

Take that body downtown

 

I say, "You the bestest"

Lean in for a big kiss

Put his favourite perfume on

Go play your video game

 

It's you, it's you, it's all for you

Everything I do

I tell you all the time

Heaven is a place on earth with you

Tell me all the things you wanna do

I heard that you like the bad girls

Honey, is that true?

 

It's better than I ever even knew

They say that the world was built for two

Only worth living if somebody is loving you

And, baby, now you do

 

Singin' in the old bars

Swingin' with the old stars

Livin' for the fame

 

Kissin' in the blue dark

Playin' pool and wild darts

Video games

 

He holds me in his big Arms

Drunk and I am seeing stars

This is all I think of

 

Watchin' all our friends fall

In and out of Old Paul's

This is my idea of fun

Playin' video games

 

It's you, it's you, it's all for you

Everything I do

I tell you all the time

Heaven is a place on earth with you

Tell me all the things you wanna do

I heard that you like the bad girls

Honey, is that true?

 

It's better than I ever even knew

They say that the world was built for two

Only worth living if somebody is loving you

And, baby, now you do

 

It's you, it's you, it's all for you

Everything I do

I tell you all the time

Heaven is a place on earth with you

Tell me all the things you wanna do

I heard that you like the bad girls

Honey, is that true?

 

It's better than I ever even knew

They say that the world was built for two

Only worth living if somebody is loving you

And, baby, now you do

 

Hmm, hmm, hmm

(Now you do)

(Now you do)

Now you do

(Now, now you do)

(Now you do)

(Now you do).

Think I just remembered something

I think I left the faucet running

Now my words are filling up the tub

Darling, you're just soaking in it

But I know you'll get out the minute

You notice all your fingers pruning up

 

I'm tired of being careful, gentle, trying to keep the water warm

Let me under your skin

Uh-oh, there it goes, I said too much, it overflowed

Why do I always spill?

 

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

 

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I'd never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

 

Think I got myself in trouble

So I fill the bath with bubbles

Then I'll put the towels all away

Should've never said the word "love"

Threw a toaster in the bathtub

I'm sick of all the games I have to play

 

I'm tired of being careful, gentle, trying to keep the water warm

Let me under your skin

Uh-oh, there it goes, I said too much, it overflowed

Why do I always spill?

 

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

 

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I'd never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

 

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

 

I feel it coming out my throat

Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap

God, I wish I'd never spoke

Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap.
