[Verse 1] I keep a map in my jacket seam, A crooked path through the cedar trees. Peter says, “Come on, the tide is right,” And we trade our names for a Saturday night. [Pre-Chorus] When the grown-up world comes calling, We duck beneath the boughs and go. [Chorus] Run, run, run through the bracken and fern, Past the old iron gate where the wild things turn. If Captain Hook comes cutting through, I’ll take the long way home with you. Lost boys, keep a place for me, I still believe in what we can’t see. [Verse 2] We build a fort from fallen limbs, Count every scratch like a badge we win. The moon hangs low over blackberry vines, And nobody asks what comes after tonight. [Pre-Chorus] When the grown-up world comes calling, We duck beneath the boughs and go. [Chorus] Run, run, run through the bracken and fern, Past the old iron gate where the wild things turn. If Captain Hook comes cutting through, I’ll take the long way home with you. Lost boys, keep a place for me, I still believe in what we can’t see. [Bridge] Maybe morning finds us older, Mud on our knees, leaves in our hair. Still, if you reach across the water, You’ll find me waiting there. [Final Chorus] Run, run, run through the bracken and fern, Past the old iron gate where the wild things turn. If Captain Hook comes cutting through, I’ll take the long way home with you. Lost boys, keep a place for me, I still believe in what we can’t see. Lost boys, wherever we roam, Believe in me—I’ll find my way home. [Outro] I’ll find my way home.
