This song is the most literal interpretation of the original Peter Pan story. It follows the complete story as told from the perspective of Peter guided through his relationship with Wendy. The themes expressed within the lyrics are more about love than the original story, but stay true to the plot. I found this to be appropriate as the song deals with the concepts of falling into love as well as having to let it go.
Over the last few years I have seen relationships flourish and fail around me. Some of these were for the better, but some I was very sad to see come to an end. Although this song discusses that idea letting go, I wanted to highlight that letting go does not always mean the end, sometimes it just means “see you soon.”
So rest your head darling safely here on my heart.
And we’ll work together through how the end will start.
I can say Ive got the answers.
And I’m quite content with that.
We’ll take on reality with a thimble from a baseball bat.
We’re flying away.
We’re flying away.
Now please forgive my forgetful mind as i only mean well.
They say this land will take you.
Somewhere you never can tell.
And I’ll make you at home.
We can lay our time to rest.
We’re off the Hook now no ones left here too protest.
We’re flying away.
We’re flying away.
I understand your ache, I only wish to see you well.
They say you’ll let go of what you love.
Even if its hell.
I leave you where your safe but i wont be a man.
When the grass grows, I promise I will come again.
