Just because they seem to understand the way you feel,
It doesn't mean that thhey feel the same way too.
Just because they seem to hold a mirror to your lives,
It doesn't follow that they'll be just like you.
Take no heroes, it's no good.
They don't stand up to you
Just take the bits you think that you can use.
I remember when I was younger,
I thought the answers were locked in people.
So I admired the ones whose lives were
the source of envy to people like me.
But do you really want to meet,
the ones who write your dreams?
Believe me it's a fantasy.
You won't like the reality.
If you want heroes keep them safe.
They don't stand up to life.
So lock them in your soul and lose the key.
I love you. I don't want to meet you.
(Repeated 12x in background)
When I see you it makes me feel,
there's someone else out there like me.
You touch my soul with what you do.
It all makes sense when I'm with you.
You understand the way I feel.
I know exactly what you mean.
It's like I've known you all my life.
I think of you and I feel alright.
But in the flesh how would it be,
if you could really see
the weaknesses you never knew
Alive and staring back at you?
If you want heroes keep them safe.
They don't stand up to life.
So lock them in your soul and lose the key.
Lock them in your soul and lose the key.
Lock them in your soul and lose the key.
