Wake me up (songfic)

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.
