After a holiday visit with his parents, Mikey is headed to the airport to return to his wife and newborn baby. Except he doesn’t board the plane. Instead he returns to his parents’ loft in lower Manhattan, back to his childhood room that has since been converted to storage. Unsure of his own motivations, he makes up excuses about why he’s staying – his flight is delayed, his flight is cancelled. A day passes, and then another, and he calls home and work to say he can’t return just yet – his parents are getting old, his parents are ill, time is too short. His doting mother is more than happy to enable his procrastination, while his artist father is suspicious. From afar, his confused wife grows increasingly unsettled. Meanwhile Mikey moves back into his room, digging out notebooks and mementos, calling on old friends. As the days go on he becomes more and more entrenched in his adolescent sanctuary, and comes to a point where he must choose between life as it is and life as it was. --© Official Site

没什么大起大落的情节,看完译名为长不大的孩子之后找了半天才找到这里。意外地很多人喜爱这个故事。短暂逃离,有一瞬间突然什么也不想要了,远离巨大的心理负担回归儿童时代,本来不苟同,结果有人分析彼得潘症候群特点之后发现完全符合。可能主人公还算个正常社会人,而自己一直处于彼得潘状态,所以不理解突然逃离这件事吧。但是依然觉得选择安全舒适自己能力内的生活就好。一辈子长不大那就长不大吧,那也是一种资本,也有人羡慕。只是别出出进进忽冷忽热伤害他人。

歌词里说,我越不去寻根定源,美好的生活就离我越近。很讽刺,但谁反驳起来又是那么地无力,那么,谁又真的长大过呢
