lyrics

The lost boy wandered from neverland
To a mountain he couldn’t climb
He marched to the beat of a different drum
And the beat was hard to find
He would climb and fall, he would lose it all
He was hard to understand
This is the story of a lost boy
Who wandered from neverland

The lost boy wandered from neverland
Scared of what he didn’t know
Didn’t get too far ‘fore he realized
He didn’t have nowhere to go
He curled up and cried, ‘cause he knew inside
That his fate was in his hands
This is the story of a lost boy
Who wandered from neverland

And he thought leaving Peter and Tinkerbell
Would save him from his nightmare living hell
But alone and far from home he saw
The shadow didn’t stray
And he thought leaving Hook and his crew behind
Would conceal the fact that he always lied
About how he felt and how he dealt
But it didn’t work out that way

The lost boy wandered from neverland
Stepping slowly out the door
Timid, he felt incomplete
Didn’t know what he was living for
And the drum inside took him on a ride
A spiral different from what he plans
This is the story of a lost boy
Who wandered from neverland

And he thought leaving Peter and Tinkerbell
Would save him from his nightmare living hell
But alone and far from home he saw
The shadow didn’t stray
And he thought leaving Hook and his crew behind
Would conceal the fact that he always lied
About how he felt and how he dealt
But it didn’t work out that way

He went down, down, down
And he drowned, drowned, drowned
In his fear, in his tears
And he couldn’t swim
He went down, down, down
What he found, found, found
That this thing, lingering
That was stopping him was him

The lost boy wandered from neverland
And he looked back every day
He contemplated again and again
What would have happened if he’d stayed
And it hurts me so to say I don’t know
Where his story’s gonna end
This is the story of a lost boy
Who wandered from neverland
This is the story of a lost boy
Who wandered from neverland

EJ Carey Boston, Massachusetts

If you took the angst ridden anthems of the 2000s and combined them with the truth bearing storytelling of country music, you’d find yourself listening to EJ Carey. EJ’s blend of pop rock packs an emotional punch by reintroducing the sounds of her teen years to the age of Spotify under the guise of confessional plot-driven songwriting.
EJ's new EP “Outlier” is available everywhere now. ... more
