When all of our papas went off a'ridin 
We became the boys our mamas could confide in 
But we betrayed that trust when the road 
Looked much more inviting than home 
And through the tears in their eyes 
We must've looked like all the men
Who'd ever left them alone 

We became the bastard clan of Bellingham 
And we moved down by the train tracks 
Making our great plans 
Never needin' anything but each other's confidence 
And on cold kitchen floors and in cracked parking lots 
The world made much more sense 

And isn't it so 
That the lost boys they ain't never found their way home
And can it be said 
That a make believe princess loses her interest 
Once you get her to bed 
Try as you might 
But your will for leaving's much stronger when everything's right 
Into the night 
We will disappear 
Like shadows into the night 

Of all the great adventures that I recall 
I often think of the day we were playing too close to that waterfall 
When I almost went over 
You wouldn't let go of my hand and let me drown 
You pulled me back to safety and we laughed 
As our shoes got swept in and sank down 

And isn't it so 
That the lost boys they ain't never found their way home 
And can it be said 
That a make believe princess loses her interest 
Once you get her to bed 
Try as you might 
But your will for leaving's much stronger when everything's right 
Into the night 
We will disappear like orphans into the night

When the chill of fall was felt in the air of our summer days 
We knew that soon we'd be riding off on our separate ways 
And the familiar pain of our mothers' broken hearts 
Is felt once again 
By the sons of the ones who take to the road 
When the unknown calls out to them 

And isn't it so 
That the lost boys they ain't never found their way home 
And can it be said 
That a make believe princess loses her interest 
Once you get her to bed 
Try as you might
But your will for leaving's much stronger when everything's right 
Into the night 
We will disappear 
Like shadows into the night 
Into the night 
We will disappear 
Like orphans into the night 
Into the night 
We will disappear 
Like our fathers 
Into the night
