Lost Boy

She was a writer and he was a fighter
Caused trouble wherever he went
She wrote her sonnets bout night skies and Comets and his days were always misspent

She went to college to work on her knowledge
He learnt all that he could from the streets
He stayed in his hometown, kicked dirt on his own ground, but she knew that he'd always be

Her lost boy, her never grows up boy
Something bout him, kept pulling her in
Just a tide that she'd never outswim
Her lost boy, her never grows up boy

Tried to forget him but each time she left him
He wouldn't wash out of her mind
Knew he was trouble, he lived for the hustle
She knew he was never her kind

Thought he was handsome, decided to chance some
One night when they were sixteen
An unlikely pairing, she couldn't help caring
But she knew that he'd always be

Her lost boy, her never grows up boy
Something bout him, kept pulling her in
Just a tide that she'd never outswim
Her lost boy, her never grows up boy

Her lost boy, her never grows up boy
Something bout him, kept pulling her in
Just a tide that she'd never outswim
Her lost boy, her never grows up boy

Tried to forget him but each time she left him
He wouldn't wash out of her mind
