Don't Be a Hero

I'd look in your direction

If I was out at sea;

The furthest I am from you

Is the best I'll ever be.

I've got to see you coming

If you're out on your way,

And I'm sure you know I'm looking,

Scared I'll see you everyday.

 

I am a human being,

Not a hero like you.

I am a human being,

Not a hero like you think I am.

 

"Honey, sing to me

Or take my photo down.

I am so colorblind,

I feel so helpless now.

With all that water all around you,

Are you doing fine?

You must still need me,

You're still always on my mind."

 

I am a human being,

Not a hero like you.

I am a human being,

Not a hero like you think I am.

 

Don't ask me

Why you are the way you are.

I've just come to talk to you again

About whatever makes you happy.
