So this wasn't the plan for this chapter, but I am way too excited for the new movie
Feeling my way through the darkness
Peter had only wanted to help. That's all.
Guided by a beating heart
And helping Mr. Stark was all he had thought of while he blew the ship in two halves.
I can't tell where the journey will end
He had tried to ask politely, explain himself, and beg for the suit. To no avail. The boy wouldn't be getting it back in the near future if ever.
But I know where to start
That wouldn't stop him from helping.
They tell me I'm too young to understand
Even if to Mr. Stark he was just a kid.
They say I'm caught up in a dream
And to Vulture too weak to be considered a serious threat.
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes
Even if now the boy didn't see how he could be of use he was going to figure it out.
Well that's fine by me
And that he did. Thanks to Tony he came to realize that he was more than just the tech he wore.
So wake me up when it's all over
Now he wished that he was there when Tony was offering him a new suit.
When I'm wiser and I'm older
So later he could choose to stay on Earth, not to distract the man while he was fighting. Maybe then Mr. Stark would be alive right now.
All this time I was finding myself, and I
To choose not to give black the glasses.
Didn't know I was lost
To not end up in a mess like this.
So wake me up when it's all over
Trying to let go of the past.
When I'm wiser and I'm older
While it grabbed on to him, never letting go.
All this time I was finding myself, and I
Trying to decide which is the best choice to make right now,
Didn't know I was lost
So soon he wouldn't come to regret it.
I tried carrying the weight of the world
Tony had entrusted him with Edith. To help the boy be the next iron man.
But I only have two hands
Jet here he was with what seemed to be the whole world hating him.
Hope I get the chance to travel the world
A part of him wanted to run away from this mess
But I don't have any plans
While another – a spark of hope and pride
Wish that I could stay forever this young
Believed that there was a way to fix it.
Not afraid to close my eyes
It all felt like trying to outrun time.
Life's a game made for everyone
To run ahead of tomorrow,
And love is a prize
To see what the decisions of today would cost.
So wake me up when it's all over
Just once he wanted to be the winner of the race, which never stopped.
When I'm wiser and I'm older
To be sure that what he was doing wasn't going to hurt anybody.
All this time I was finding myself, and I
This running was tiring. The constant fear of what will the universe throw at him next.
Didn't know I was lost
The sense of purpose was eating away at his sense of self.
So wake me up when it's all over
The boy found out that sometimes only for a little while he needed to lock the world away
When I'm wiser and I'm older
To be alone recollecting his thoughts
All this time I was finding myself, and I
That within his family was his true self.
I didn't know I was lost
That cooking with May gave him a new wave of energy.
I didn't know I was lost
And Legos didn't get old.
I didn't know I was lost
That MJ somehow made the seriousness of the mess he was in funny.
I didn't know I was lost
That they could bring him back from the dark forests,
I didn't know
Which sometimes became too hostile.
