The Midnight - Heroes Lyrics

One year closer to my death
I still haven't found what I'm looking for yet
It's not big blue eyes and long blonde hair
It's not a million dollars or a secret prayer
Another year we sleep under the spell
Sometimes it's hard to remember
'Cause you wear it so well
Made my home in the underground
'Cause nothing grows in the wasteland now

Are we just too easily please?
Here with the pundits and saviors
Witty, pretty and shitty and high
Almost getting by, almost getting by

I'm ready to live my life again
Like there's a chance worth takin'
I'm ready to love you like I can
Like my heart's not breakin'
Wherever you are, wherever you are, red, white and blue
I'll keep waitin'
But the missing hero is you

Broke down on the 101
Just bad luck will leave us blinded by the sun
Yeah, we chased our dreams like you taught us how
But nothing grows in the wasteland now

Are we just too easily pleased?
Here with the pundits and saviors
Witty, pretty and shitty and high
Almost getting by, almost getting by

I'm ready to live my life again
Like there's a chance worth takin'
I'm ready to love you like I can
Like my heart's not breakin'
Wherever you are, wherever you are, red, white and blue
I'll keep waitin'
But the missing hero is you

I'm ready to live my life again
Like there's a chance worth takin'
I'm ready to love you like I can
Like my heart's not breakin'
Wherever you are, wherever you are, red, white and blue
I'll keep waitin'
But the missing hero is you
