[Verse 1] 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 [Pre-Chorus 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 hardеst part of growing up's not getting old It's learning how the rеal world goes I miss my old I miss my old [Verse 2] I miss my Bible study leader Had all the answers for livin' 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 [Pre-Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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
