What Is A Hero Lyrics

I had this conversation with this friend the other day

What's the cost of getting deattached that you have to pay, he asked

I did know what he meant

'Cause we're rowing the same way

Who can you look up to when the lead fades away, man

I love spring

The bloom of all the flowers

The funny little tree under the Eiffel Tower

I can run through all my life to find the biggest power

But the vision I would find

Belongs to someone other

So all that I can really do's tiptoe spectate all around

And let myself go crazy when I'm demonically inspired

Lion heart, adrenaline, you're my hero from this hour

And I'll obey all your requests

'Cause you seem to have a bigger number

I can't deny my wavering

I really cannot blur that

But neither cannot believe something I'm not fully sure at

"If you have come this far, it is too late now to turn back"

I know that it's not true, but I gotta give a constructive alternative

Oh God, we want sanity, but it's still gone

We are far from perfect, but for some reason, we seem done

We got pressure in our hearts, but we don't know where it came from

I need to have a hero

To teach me how to be one

Call Peter a preacher

Call Peter a gimmick

I call him drifting soul

Every hour, every minute

He's just being friendly

Don't reject him as my guidance

'Cause some wants to bring strength

But he wants to bring silence

When I'm underwater I told you that I'm frightened

Spent a year down on that road and I chose to have no trident

I close my eyes and pray for the voice inside the palace

That I see under my eyelids but still don't understand yet

Once we realize there's an extra sleeve inside the right pocket

Once we're kneeling in the Sun watching ice cubes in a bucket

Once a hammock is an object and its shadow's just a puppet

Once I'm eating in in Macdonald's and got an extra nugget (Woo)

I'm looking into largeness and I do know that it tempts me

But a little snail has died because this life ain't the Great Gatsby

Oh Snail Mama I know, I understand you think "It can't be"

Once a glass can be full, and at the same time it's empty

Ay, what is a hero? (What is a hero?)

Who is it hide in the dark?

We should finally reveal him 'cause we know that he's been making The Spark

That he has always been here

We know he has always been holding our back

Ay, what is a hero? (Woo)

Yeah

Why is he this hard to get?

But now we're going to get him fellas

Now we'll finally know his name

The something that's been here alongside

The someone that's made us go this way

Prepare for the spotlight, Person

Now we'll make your room go bright

I'm pullin' the switch 'cause it's Christmas, I'm home, you are Santa and I am a curious child

Woo

Wait…

Where the hell are you?

Why is this room entirely empty?

Why is there dust on the floor?

Why am I

Uh

Why am I alone? It can't be

You played me?

No

Better you gave me the thing that you had all along, I reckon

It's the grass, it's a cup, it's a cat, it's a croc, did you know "1 crocodile" is as long as a second?

You are my hero and I really meant it

You're not in this room, now I understand it

You're not a giant, you're not the Sphinx

You are just someone who says little things
