Lyrics and translation Taylor Swift - Peter

Peter

Forgive me, Peter
My lost fearless leader
In closets like cedar
Preserved from when we were just kids
Is it something I did?
The goddess of timing
Once found us beguiling
She said she was trying
Peter, was she lying?
My ribs get the feeling she did

And I didn't want to come down
I thought it was just goodbye for now

You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Words from the mouths of babes
Promises, oceans deep
But never to keep
Oh, never to keep

Are you still a mind reader?
A natural scene stealer
I've heard great things, Peter
But life was always easier on you
Than it was on me
And sometimes it gets me
When crossing your jet stream
We both did the best we could do underneath the same moon
In different galaxies

And I didn't want to hang around
We said it was just goodbye for now

You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Words from the mouths of babes
Promises, oceans deep
But never to keep
Never to keep

And I won't confess that I waited
But I let the lamp burn
As the men masqueraded
I hoped you'd return
With your feet on the ground
Tell me all that you'd learned
'Cause love's never lost when perspective is earned

And you said you'd come and get me, but you were 25
And the shelf life of those fantasies has expired
Lost to the lost boys chapter of your life
Forgive me Peter, please know that I tried
To hold onto the days when you were mine
But the woman who sits by the window has turned out the light

You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up

You said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Said you were gonna grow up
Then you were gonna come find me
Words from the mouths of babes
Promises, oceans deep
But never to keep

Pierre

Pardonnez-moi, Pierre
Mon leader intrépide perdu
Dans des placards en cèdre
Conservés d'une époque où nous étions juste des enfants
Est-ce quelque chose que j'ai fait ?
La déesse du timing
Nous trouvait autrefois séduisants
Elle a dit qu'elle essayait
Pierre, mentait-elle ?
Mes côtes ont le sentiment qu'elle l'a fait

Et je ne voulais pas redescendre
Je pensais que c'était juste un au revoir pour l'instant

Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me retrouver
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me retrouver
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me retrouver
Des mots de la bouche de bébés
Des promesses, profondes comme les océans
Mais jamais à tenir
Oh, jamais à tenir

Es-tu toujours un lecteur d'esprit ?
Un voleur de scène naturel
J'ai entendu de bonnes choses, Pierre
Mais la vie a toujours été plus facile pour toi
Qu'elle ne l'a été pour moi
Et parfois cela me prend
Quand je croise ton jet-stream
Nous avons tous les deux fait de notre mieux sous la même lune
Dans des galaxies différentes

Et je ne voulais pas traîner
On a dit que c'était juste un au revoir pour l'instant

Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me retrouver
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me retrouver
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me retrouver
Des mots de la bouche de bébés
Des promesses, profondes comme les océans
Mais jamais à tenir
Jamais à tenir

Et je n'avouerai pas que j'ai attendu
Mais j'ai laissé la lampe brûler
Alors que les hommes se masquaient
J'espérais que tu reviendrais
Avec les pieds sur terre
Me dire tout ce que tu as appris
Parce que l'amour n'est jamais perdu quand la perspective est acquise

Et tu as dit que tu viendrais me chercher, mais tu avais 25 ans
Et la durée de vie de ces fantasmes a expiré
Perdu dans le chapitre des garçons perdus de ta vie
Pardonnez-moi Pierre, sachez que j'ai essayé
De m'accrocher aux jours où tu étais à moi
Mais la femme qui s'assoit près de la fenêtre a éteint la lumière

Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me retrouver
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me retrouver
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir

Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me retrouver
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me retrouver
Tu as dit que tu allais grandir
Puis tu allais venir me retrouver
Des mots de la bouche de bébés
Des promesses, profondes comme les océans
Mais jamais à tenir
