"Hero" lyrics

[Telephone voice:]
"I was just calling to say hi, um, I just had a really long a day and would just love to hear your voice, so, shoot me a call back!"

Feeling sentimental when I stop and think about it
I remember when I had what I wanted
You were waiting by the lake like you promised
Words were falling from my mouth like a faucet

Falling backwards in slow motion to the sound of
Your voice on the phone it gave me good luck
Now you're gone but I'll always have a taste
I can settle for your voice, if I can't have your face

I was making you a playlist
Kings of Leon and Oasis
Tell me how can I make this better for you

I want to be a hero
Someone who can save you when it's tough
I want to be a hero
Someone who can give you all their love
I want to be a hero
When you're scared and when it's rough
I want to be a hero
But would I ever really be enough?
I want to be a hero

I want to be a hero

It feels detrimental that we stop and talk about it
We can find out what we both wanted
Doesn't have to be a fight when we talk
But please don't walk away from me

Tripping over my own words like a boulder
Need someone to lean on like a shoulder
Instead, I have my own thoughts and they race
Wish I could be right back inside your place

I was making you a playlist
Kings of Leon and Oasis
Tell me how can I make this better for you

I want to be a hero
Someone who can save you when it's tough
I want to be a hero
Someone who can give you all their love
I want to be a hero
When you're scared and when it's rough
I want to be a hero
But would I ever really be enough?
I want to be a hero

I want to be a hero
I want to be a hero
I want to be a hero
I want to be a hero
I want to be a hero
