Be A Boy

When you're young you hope to be Menacing in vanity 6 feet tall, maybe more Bigger now than before They said it was leaving me The magic was leaving me I don't think so I don't think so They said it was leaving They said it went on Now I could make this last forever And be a boy, and be a boy When you're young you hope to see And carve your name into the street And bounce your words off satellites That keep the wasted up tonight They said it was leaving me The magic was leaving me I don't think so I don't think so They said it was leaving They said it went on Now I could make this last forever And be a boy, and be a boy There's safety in the jungle If you treat it like a toy Make sure you talk to strangers And be a boy, and be a boy Be a boy They said it was leaving me The magic was leaving me I don't think so I don't think so All of the boys are gonna be someone The time you caught but it was gone The time you caught but it was gone It takes a big man to be someone All of the boys are gonna be someone The time you caught but it was gone The time you caught but it was gone It takes a big man to be someone I'm half your age and lived twice your life And hide on streets, you walk tonight The time you caught but it's not mine It takes a big man to be someone I'm half your age and lived twice your life And I don't sleep alone tonight The time you caught but it's not mine It takes a big man to be someone
