Heroes

I miss when I had superpowers

My imagination was my friend and it ran wild and free

I could waste a couple hours

Without a worry in the world staring at stars out on my trampoline, yeah

I miss when Andy McAuthur was the fastest kid there was and kid there was ever gonna be

Ken Griffey Jr. was a giant, before parents got divorced and I learned that there was gravity

I miss my old heroes

I had to give them all away

I miss my old heroes yeah yeah

God I wish they could've stayed

'Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up's not getting old

It's learning how the real world goes

I miss my old

I miss my old

I miss my Bible study leader

Had all the answers for living in the big bad world

Don't know if he still talks to Jesus

But his wife's remarried now and I think he sells garage doors

I miss when I thought chasing dreams was

Holy magic behind curtains in a sacred place

Before it was managers and lawyers

Who colored up and cashed them out

For vacation homes in coastal states

I miss my old heroes

I had to give them all away

I miss my old heroes yeah, yeah

God I wish they could've stayed

'Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up's not getting old

It's learning how the real world goes

I miss my old

I miss my old

I miss my old heroes

I miss my old heroes

I miss back when the world was small and we had all the answers

I miss how it was when we were young

I miss back before I understood all the ways that life would break your heart

Before I knew that's what they called growing up

I miss my old heroes

I had to give them all away

I miss my old heroes yeah, yeah

God I wish they could've stayed

'Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up's not just getting old

It's learning how the real world goes

I miss my old

I miss my old

I miss my old heroes

I miss my old heroes
