Superhero

[Verse 1]

Sleepwalking through the all-night drug store

Baptized in fluorescent light

I found religion in the greeting card aisle

And now I know Hallmark was right

And every pop song on the radio

Is suddenly speaking to me

Yeah, art may imitate life

But life imitates TV

'Cause, 'cause you've been gone exactly two weeks

Two weeks and three days

And let's just say that things look different now

Different in so many ways

[Chorus]

'Cause I used to be a superhero

No one could touch me

Yeah, not even myself, and

You were like a phone booth

That I somehow stumbled into, and

Now look at me

I am just like everybody else

I am just like everybody else

[Verse 2]

If I was dressed in my best defenses

Would you agree to meet me for coffee?

If I did my tricks with smoke and mirrors

Would you still know which one was me?

If I was naked and screaming on your front lawn

Would you turn on the light and come down?

Screaming, "There's the asshole who did this to me

Stripped me of my power

Stripped me down"

[Chorus]

'Cause I used to be a superhero

No one could hurt me

Yeah, not even myself, and

You were like a phone booth

That I somehow stumbled into, and

Now look at me

I am just like everybody else

I am just like everybody else

[Bridge]

Yeah, you've been gone exactly two weeks

Two weeks and three days

But now I'm a different person

Different in so many ways

Tell me, what did you like about me?

And don't say my strength and daring

'Cause now I think I'm at your mercy

And it's my first time for this kind of thing

[Chorus]

'Cause I used to be a superhero

I would swoop down and, and save me from myself, and

You were like a phone booth

That I somehow stumbled into, and

Now look at me

I am just like everybody else

I am just like everybody else
