[Intro: Ruth B]
There was a time when I was alone
Nowhere to go and no place to call home
My only friend was the man in the moon
And even sometimes he would go away, too
Then one night, as I closed my eyes
I saw a shadow flying high
He came to me with the sweetest smile
Told me he wanted to talk for a while
He said, "Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely"
And ever since that day

[Chorus: Abstract & Ruth B]
Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me)
I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)
Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me)
I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)
Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me)
I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)

[Post-Chorus: Ruth B]
And ever since that day

[Verse 1: Abstract]
In these fast times, chasing lifelines for a lifetime
I've had my heart in the right place at the wrong time
With the right girl in another world, maybe we would be together still
If you hear this and resent that, I don't give a shit I'll let it spill
I don't give a damn, I'll keep it real
'Cause by now I hope you know the drill
I would never lie; young forever, I ain't ever gonna die
Told me, "Grow up," but I went and showed 'em why
I could make it, I showed 'em the power in youth, power in truth
The younger you stay, the closer you are to your roots, that's the reason I do
I can teach how to hit the skies
Rise above 'em without getting high
But if it help a bit, take a lil' hit
Take a lil' sip, put your mind at ease
Swear you got the keys, you can have your dreams
That's up to you, not what others believe, jeez
I swear that's the part that took longest for me
'Cause when I drop into a beat
I detach from the world, view it under my feet
Orbit around with my dreams and there I perceive my reality and what it means
Music is where I can breathe, a world in between
What I am, what I was, what I will be
It's the only place that I feel free, hope you feel me

[Pre-Chorus: Ruth B]
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored, we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me
Away from all of reality, he said

[Chorus: Ruth B]
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely
Peter Pan, that's what they call me
I promise that you'll never be lonely

[Post-Chorus: Ruth B]
And ever since that day

[Verse 2: Abstract]
You ain't ever gotta be alone
I found company inside a song
Take it off your chest, throw it in a poem
If they try to flex, show 'em where you going
Hating on your past, kill 'em with your moment
When you get the chance, drive it like you stole it
She said, "I don't want to grow up
I gotta go keep my passions alive
Please say you've heard of a place I can fly
Where nothing's impossible, that's where I gotta go"
They said the only way up was to get in line
I'm telling you that somebody lied
As someone who's been to the other side
Blurring the lines between earth and mind
She's a lost girl in a lost world, but I know what she tryna find
Some call it music; I call it Neverland
Where we can take flight and don't have to ever land
You can stay young forever if you follow your heart
Know a nine-to-five tear the soul apart
Keep it safe, you can keep your soul in art
We can't live a lie, we would rather die
If I don't live for this, I am not alive
I don't deserve the breath, I don't deserve the steps
Don't deserve the criticism or compliments
This is who I am, this is what I do
Outside of Neverland, I don't have a clue
They call us lost, but this is the place where I was found
Take my hand, Wendy, we're home now

[Pre-Chorus: Ruth B]
I am a lost boy from Neverland
Usually hanging out with Peter Pan
And when we're bored, we play in the woods
Always on the run from Captain Hook
"Run, run, lost boy," they say to me
Away from all of reality

[Chorus: Abstract & Ruth B]
Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me)
I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)
Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me)
I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)
Peter Pan, that's what they call me (Call me)
I promise that you'll never be lonely (Lonely)

[Post-Chorus: Ruth B]
And ever since that day

[Outro: Ruth B]
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free
Neverland is home to lost boys like me
And lost boys like me are free (Free, free, free)

Abstract

Growing up in New Jersey, Luke Terkovich, otherwise known as Abstract, was involved with music at an early age. Learning how to play piano, electric guitar, and the drums were Luke’s first involvement with music — and he did it all before 6th grade. With a move across country from New Jersey to Jackson, Wyoming, the distance between learning and playing new instruments got larger. It wasn’t until several years later that Luke began to mess around with freestyling during his high school years spent at Jackson Hole High. Evolving his newly found musical expression into Raised in Jackson, WY, Abstract is known for his immense musical versatility and affinity for providing uplifting music for a turbulent world. With a knack for storytelling, he provides introspective motivation to all who take the time to dive into his work. Notably known for his remix of Ruth Bs Lost Boy “Neverland” which has garnered hundreds of millions of plays on YouTube, his work with Drumma Battalion and Roze, and his 2016 album Something to Write Home About. He heads a collective known as “A Team Worldwide” 5 musicians from 4 different countries. Producers Drumma Battalion of Norway, Blulake of Sweden, Cryo Music of Scotland, and Abstract. Coming off his first overseas tour with YONAS, the ATWW collective is gearing up to drop Abstracts new album/experience late summer 2018.writing detailed lyrics, he began to find that he could vent the stresses of his everyday life through creating music. Slowly progressing through the years of his new town where he calls home; balancing school, life, and music developed Luke to become Abstract.

Trying to find his sound was a young teenager who just looked to get something written down and then translated into music, and eventually rap. Still in his caterpillar stage of metamorphosis was a young Abstract who released his first ever collection of songs, properly named The Dream.

In 2012, through YouTube, Abstract met Craig McAllister, a producer from Glasgow, Scotland. During that period, Abstract was in the midst of working on On My Own Time and was the first time Craig showed up with Abstract. Afterwards, the duo started to mesh extremely well and produced the five projects, Under Lights & Microscopes, A Life To Live By, Dreaming With Eyes Open, The Science Of Feeling Tall, and We Are The Artist.
