Peter Pan – English Lyrics

• By: Kelsea Ballerini

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

- He always had to feel

the rush,

the heartbeat,

the speed.

He had a passion for things he knew could hurt him,

but he never stayed long enough to get hurt.

Sometimes I guess he found that feeling with me,

and the other times he found it being lost.

(upbeat country music)
