lyrics

TODAY I MET MY HERO
THE HERO OF MY DREAMS
HE WAS SMALL AND PALER IN THE FLESH
BUT A FRICKIN REAL LIFE HERO
THAT I’VE WORSHIPPED SINCE THIRTEEN
ALTHOUGH HIS BREATH WAS NOT SO FRESH

AND NOW I’VE MET HIM
THERE’S SOMETHING MISSING
I JUST DON’T KNOW WHAT I WAS HOPING FOR
IT’S LIKE HE’S MISSING
WHAT I AM MISSING
I’M SO UNSURE

CAUSE I WAS TOLD BEFORE I GOT OLD
THAT HEROS ARE ‘MYTHICAL CONSTRUCTS’
AND NOT TO BE TRUSTED
THEY’RE JUST LEFT OVER SCARS
FROM WHEN WE EVOLVED
BUT THERE’S A DEEP DOWN PART OF MY HEART
THAT’S CRYING OUT TO BELIEVE
IN ALL MY DREAMS
OF KNIGHTS IN SHINING ARMOUR
AND A GOD BEHIND THE THUNDER
OH MAKE IT THUNDER

SO TODAY I MET MY HERO
AND IT SEEMS THEY GOT IT RIGHT
AND IT’S ALL A BIG FAT FANTASY
AND PEOPLE DON’T NEED HEROS
TO GET THEM THROUGH THE NIGHT
THEY MAKE THEIR OWN REALITY

BUT OH WITHOUT HIM
I’M ALWAYS DOUBTING
MY HEADS A MESS AND I DON’T HAVE A CURE
MY STUPID HERO
IS JUST A WEIRDO
WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR
