[Verse 1]
Underneath the silent skies
All the stars are out of sight
On the empty street
My sorrow and me
Those trees have grown much taller
While I was finding my way
That playground seems smaller
Than back in the day
I knew the world I'm from
The future was still to come
I’m coming home
Feeling unknown

[Chorus]
I wish you could see me now (You could see me now)
I think you would be proud (You would be proud)
You said one day I would understand
But I'm still waiting for Peter Pan
I wish you could see me now (You could see me now)
I think you would be proud (You would be proud)
You said one day I would understand
But I just want you to hold my hand

[Verse 2]
They say I'm a lot like you
Wish you were here too
You didn’t see me growing old
Didn't see me getting strong
It's time for words from a sermon
Time to say the last goodbyes
Time for coffee and bourbon
I just want our last goodnights
I whisper to the ground
"Thought you would always be around"
Wish you were not alone
In the great unknown

[Chorus]
I wish you could see me now (You could see me now)
I think you would be proud (You would be proud)
You said one day I would understand
But I'm still waiting for Peter Pan
I wish you could see me now (You could see me now)
I think you would be proud (You would be proud)
You said one day I would understand
But I just want you to hold my hand
Hold my hand
