Tiger Lily & Pete
So here we have the spawn of Doug and Shay Lavonne on the back lawn swing set
Hoping he'll get high enough to fly over the fence
And see the wind crawl across a field of wheat
Blue skies that stretch beyond horizons with the subtle smell of summer air and freedom
And he's prepared to do great things
and emulate his hero's latest accolades
So it suffice to say that ambition was his mission
With great wit he felt he'd make is greatness witnessed — the kid was
Ready to rid the realm of wicked-hearted minions
and the harbingers of evil wherever they exist
And driven by youthful ignorance to fight for princesses
on marooner's rock for the noble prize of a kiss
And this was how they first met
her hair dark jet, soft olive skin
and when she pecked his cheek his little stomach felt like floating dandelion seeds
and his ears burned a scarlet shade of red, but he said:
My name's Pete. Will you be my Tiger Lily?
And promise never to grow old forever with me?
I'm having too much fun to ever stop being young
So I figure I'll just never grow up
Hey, my name's Pete. Will you be my Tiger Lily?
And promise never to grow old forever with me?
Because the curse of the young is that they all grow up
And forget what it's like to have fun
His name was Pete, her name was Tiger Lily
She promised that she'd never grow old forever with him
But they did. Time is an inexorable engine
And witnessed the kids grow distant
They grew up in an instant and then they grew apart
He went in to business and she pursued the arts
And all she wanted was his love and a companion for adventure
But he felt a larger base pension was a better investment
So Pete went on to wed a more conventional Wendy
And they lived a life of plenty that eventually felt empty
Cuz spreadsheets and pinstriped cloth
Amounted annual accomplishment to squeezing out an extra couple bucks
But oftentimes money ain't enough
To make a man feel full when his skin starts to show liverspots

And the older he got the more he choked on regret
Over promises he never kept every time he said:
My name's Pete. Will you be my Tiger Lily?
And promise never to grow old forever with me?
I'm having too much fun to ever stop being young
So I figure I'll just never grow up
Hey, my name's Pete. Will you be my Tiger Lily?
And promise never to grow old forever with me?
Because the curse of the young is that they all grow up
And regret the things that can't be undone
Before too long 'It's 5 'o clock and I need a drink'
became 'It's 530 and I need some sleep'
Cuz poor Pete was no Dorian Gray—just grey now
Tuck Everlasting heart under weight of age
And it took every last thing out of him to lay down autonomy
To live retired, always tired, thinking: 'they've forgotten me'
What a bitter epilogue to success
A late ex-wife, estranged kids, and no real friends left
He felt like exhaled breath, what he would give for some back
To chase his shadow once again as a kid
Before his labyrinthine thoughts made him feel scared and lost
And confused while his telomeres disappeared
But this was how they met again
Her hair dark jet, same olive skin
His eyes trickled warmth and as he smiled Pete's wrinkled lips quivered
So she smiled back politely as he earnestly whimpered
My name's Pete. Is that you Tiger Lily?
Who promised never to grow old forever with me?
We had too much fun to ever stop being young
And I wish we would have never grown up
Hey, my name's Pete. Will you be my Tiger Lily?
And promise never to grow old forever with me?
Because the curse we've succumbed to is that we've grown up
But you remind me what it is to feel young
