Wish We Were Heroes

Somewhere down the line

We found the rhythm in the rhyme

Like two notes played out of time

Now we don't fit in the score, no, no

Somehow through the years

We let the laughter turn to tears

And all those feelings once so clear

Just aren't here anymore, anymore

And sometimes I...

Wish we were heroes in the setting sun

Ride off together when the story's done

No sad goodbyes, no alibis

Just two heroes waiting from the back of a train

Two heroes never feeling all of the pain

The heartbreaking rending

Of knowing the ending is here

And it's time for goodbye

But so much for heroes

We could never be heroes

Because heroes don't cry

Someone used to say

Love is a wind that goes astray

Stirs the heart then blows away

Oh, but who's to say, what makes it go

But you know, I...

Wish we were heroes in the setting sun

Ride off together when the story's done

No sad goodbyes, no alibis

Just two heroes waiting from the back of a train

Two heroes never feeling all of the pain

The heartbreaking rending

Of knowing the ending is here

And it's time for goodbye

But so much for heroes

We could never be heroes

Because heroes don't cry

And sometimes I

Wish we were heroes in the setting sun

(Heroes)

Ride off together when the story's done

(Oh, ride off together)

Just two heroes waiting from the back of a train

(Heroes)

Two heroes never feeling all of the pain

And sometimes I

Wish we were heroes in the setting sun

(Oh, ride off together)

Ride off together when the story's done

(I wish we were heroes)

Just two heroes waiting from the back of a train

(Heroes)

Two heroes never feeling all of the pain
