All Time Low - Somewhere in Neverland Lyrics Meaning

All Time Low uses the legend of Peter Pan to craft the song, “Somewhere in Neverland.” This is a song that relishes in lost youth, reminiscencing in better times. But through all the toils of growing up and getting older, you can always feel young again in Neverland by running away with "Wendy". You may have to “say goodbye to the halls and the classes,” but there is way to be young and in love. It all starts with “Wendy, we can get away, promise if you’re with me, say the word and we’ll find a way.”

This is a song about trying to feel young with love. Gaskarth sings about the feeling of emptiness and loneliness after high school - "tell me how you feel over and done with." But when he finds love with "Wendy," he feels young again, he feels like he doesn't have to grow up. He says he wants to be her "your last chance, a better reality," he wants to make her life special and together they can escape to Neverland. This metaphor shows that their love makes them feel young, but more importantly alive and vibrant, like they're never going to become old - life will never be boring or dull as long as they are together.
