Our superheroes took a little lie down
And you made me up a song online
My heart reached out to take the childish words
As if they rhymed
“I miss you, Dad” you said “I want to be with you
And play back home again”
But time had lost all meaning
And I could not promise then
I could not say when
I’m in the centre of a sentimental song
Been here too long
Come on teach us, superheroes, make us super-strong
(flying to save ya)
Just lift us out of our sentimental melodies
Of right or wrong
Give us the power now to bring us back where we belong
(flying to save you now)
Our superheroes will meet again tomorrow
Same time, same place
Sometimes I struggle to hide the sorrow
From this daddy’s face
So won’t you tell me what your superpower is
And I’ll tell you mine
It’s the superhuman skill of making look like everything is fine
Straightening out the lines
I’m in the centre of a sentimental song
Been here too long
Come on teach us, superheroes, make us super-strong
(flying to save ya)
Just lift us out of our sentimental melodies
Of right or wrong
Give us the power now to bring us back where we belong
(flying to save you now)
(superheroes you and I
we’ll break the laws, these these physical ties)
The chaos all around has played so well into keeping us apart
The chance of transportation’s something you can’t really chart
but can you quarantine a heart?
I’m in the centre of a sentimental song
Been here too long
Come on teach us, superheroes, make us super-strong
(flying to save ya)
I’m in the centre of a sentimental song
Been here too long
Come on teach us, superheroes, make us super-strong
(flying to save you now)
Just lift us out of our sentimental melodies
Of right or wrong
Give us the power now to bring us back where we belong
(flying to save ya)
