Ben Rector - Heroes lyrics
[Ben Rector - Heroes lyrics]
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
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
