Natalie Hemby Heroes Lyrics
When I think heroes, I think capes
Chasing villains, stopping trains
Half incredible, half insane, uh-huh
What if Superman, he couldn’t fly?
And Spider-Man, he couldn’t climb?
What if they’re just like you and I? Uh-huh
I don’t wanna meet my heroes
I just want to be a face in the crowd
If I ever met my heroes
They might let me down
Let me down, let me down
I like to keep ’em way up high
Out of my reach and in my mind
They’re shooting stars and saving lives, uh-huh
Don’t know what’s real and what’s made up
Get too close, I’m close enough
I can look but I can’t touch
And that’s fine, uh-huh
Well I don’t wanna meet my heroes
I just want to be a face in the crowd
If I ever met my heroes
They might let me down
Let me down, let me down
Well I don’t wanna meet my heroes
I just want to be a face in the crowd
If I ever met my heroes
They might let me down
Let me down
Well I don’t wanna meet my heroes
I just wanna leave ’em up in the clouds
If I ever met my heroes
They might let me down
Let me down, let me down
I don’t wanna meet my heroes
I think heroes, I think capes
Chasing villains, stopping trains
Half incredible, half insane, uh-huh
