Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
Achilles and his gold
Hercules and his gifts
Spiderman's control and Batman with his fist
And clearly, I don't see myself upon that list
[Verse 2]
But she said, "Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can kiss
I want something just like this"
[Verse 3]
I've been reading books of old
The legends and the myths
The testaments they told
The moon and its eclipse
And Superman unrolls a suit before he lifts
But I'm not the kind of person that it fits
[Verse 4]
But she said, "Where'd you wanna go?
How much you wanna risk?
I'm not looking for somebody with some superhuman gifts
Some superhero, some fairytale bliss
Just something I can turn to, somebody I can miss
I want something just like this"
[Verse 5]
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
[Verse 6]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh, I want something just like this
Oh, I want something just like this
