heroes
 
some do some don't
some stand around
some still believe the things i won't
some walk some talk
some can't shut up
some still enjoy the things i don't
so you want to tear down
then come back and turn around
heroes, here we go with our halos bent and cracked
heroes , here we go and we're never coming back
some should some could
some can't complain
some realize we're all the same
so you want to tear down
then come back and turn around
heroes, here we go with our halos bent and cracked
heroes , here we go and we're never coming back
 
if
 
i think i need a love to help me rest my mind
i think i need a love to help me test my smile
everyone is here to watch there hero die
some of us are scared, some of us are just bored with all the lies
she's gonna hold me tight, she's gonna hold me right
cause i want her to
if if if
if i want to if i had to
i could thrill you with all that i know
if i want to, i could lock the door from inside
i could change the locks in my mind
i don't want to know that every time i'll fail
i don't want to breathe when all the air is stale
she's gonna hold me tight, she's gonna hold me right
cause i want her to
if i want to if i had to
i could thrill you with all that i know
if i want to, i could lock the door from inside
i could change the locks in my mind
i could change the locks and then
every time you'd come you would have to knock 
and if you ever got in, i would change the locks again
then before you know i'd be changing locks 
on every single door, on every single shore in the world
if if if
 
you did good, you did good, you did good

i want out
so what

eurogirl

i stack the cushions all around me
to soften up my melodies
i'm careful not to ever sing in d
somewhere, someone is singing with me
to harmonize my harmonies
a european girl with perfect pitch
i don't want to ever have to 
lift the riffs that i might need
i'm careful not to steal the ones in d
won't you try and sing my song
be careful not to run
i don't want to tell my song to you or your friends
if everyone of you could be tearing down
i can't believe the words that i'm sharing now
you want to show me how
stay back if you can
i'm done here doing time
for everyone of you there is none of me
if everyone of you was as bored as me
you want to show me how
stay back if you can
i'm done here doing time

the rescue

if i am "i" than i'm just a word
well that's absurd
but if a word i am
i'll be "free" or just "happy"
maybe a superhero, lost in sound
i'm a superhero, flying around
i'm a superhero, who never underestimates his foes
coming to the rescue of you
i could rescue you and you could rescue me too
i tell you , so you can understand
i'm more than a man
i'm a superhero, lost in sound
i'm a superhero, flying around
i'm a superhero, who never underestimates his foes
coming to the rescue of you
i could rescue you and you could rescue me too
two superheroes

i'm ready

i'm ready, i'm looking like a hero
but i'm feeling like a zero
i'm ready , i'm feeling kind of hated
or maybe just overrated
like a time bomb, unchaperoned

but i'm allright
so don't you stare

i'm ready, i'm feeling kind of cheated
or maybe just mistreated
i'm ready, i'm looking like a zero
but i'm feeling like a hero
like a bad check, rubberneck

but i'm allright
so don't you stare
don't you dare

i'm ready
but i'm allright
so don't you dare
why don't you care
why won't you care
don't you dare
i want it back right now 

duck and run

i don't ever see or hear the warnings
i don't even care if i'm being boring and your yawning
i think i'm starting to feel better; better?
i think i might just stay here forever or never
duck and run
hear the car alarm
feel the sun
didn't even know it was four in the morning
everyone else here seems to be snoring, cause they're boring
go ahead and check into my pockets
you'll see i'm out of money and i'm out of topics
fuck it
duck & run

sent them straight

all the rocket ships have gone
i suppose i'll yawn
fly around everyone 
straight into the sun
they're going
cause i sent them straight
straight into the ground, right back where i found them
they're going
cause i sent them straight
yeah, yeah, yeah
so go home and stay there alone
with all the topics in the world
my minds set on girls
ground control to captain kidd 
you're off course again
i'm going
cause they sent me straight
straight into the ground, right back where you found me
i'm going
cause they sent me straight
i'll go home and stay there alone
so go home and stay there alone
but beware, i might be coming along

yeah

if i wanted to i could turn it around
i could lay back down and just wonder
if i wanted to i could turn it around
and listen for the thunder
i told the world to hold on to my girl
yeah
i told the sea to hold on to her breeze
yeah
i told the truth to revise all my lies
yeah

operator

then i put you down

no doubt

here or there or anywhere 
up and down, and back around again

the sound of the dead?

so get in line and spend your dime friends
cause i'm the bearer...

i'm the soldier
i'm the conscience with insurance
and i'm proud
