lyrics

Some Kind of Superhero

all i wanted was to tickle your ears
but honey you were gone for a thousand years
you couldn't hear my song
you couldn't hear my bell toll
i was obscured like the sun in a swirling dustbowl
there was someone following me that i couldn't shake
some kinda crazy code that i could not break
every leaf in the forest was out of place
and there was a curtain of smoke
drawn cross your face

but if i was some kind of superhero
behind a wall of solid steel
that i could punch right through
i'd summon all my powers
and fight off all these demons
these demons and villains keeping me away from you

i kept thinking i was just this close
but just this close kept getting further away
i'd rehearsed my lines time after time
but when i got on stage i found i had nothing to say
and i believe, yes i believe
that icould grow strong enough
cause you know honey, you know that i crave you
there's really only one thing
that makes me tremble with fear
and that's that maybe, maybe you don't want me to save you

but if i was some kind of superhero
behind a wall of solid steel
that i could punch right through
i'd summon all my powers
and fight off all these demons
these demons and villains keeping me away from you
