ok i'm almost done but we have a reference to the secret garden by frances hodgson burnett on ttpd "I hate it here so I will go to / secret gardens in my mind / people need a key to get to / the only one is mine / i read about it in a book when I was a precocious child"
"peter" definitely about peter pan tooooooo!!!!! "then you were gonna come find me words from the mouths of babes promises oceans deep but never to keep oh, never to keep" peter losing wendy!!!!! cardigan link!!!!!!!
the albatross referencing shakespeare ("a rose by any other name") and the albatross metaphor from coleridge's "the rime of the ancient mariner" too taylor swift said ttpd is an album for jack! edwards!
maybe peter is also about peter pevensie from narnia given the reference to a closet (the wardrobe) hmmmm lots to think about but maybe too much for my 03:37am brain. possibly a mix of peter pan and peter pevensie because the "lost boys" lyric is definitely peter pan. LAYERS!
@jackbenedwards I think the lyrics are more about Peter Pan but from the perspective of Wendy and how she is tired of waiting for him and believing in his promises
