Ageing Superhero

Ageing Superhero - Newton Faulkner

Every time I think of growing up

I find out that I just slipped back

I got it all wrong you know I

Feel younger than I did when

I was younger on a backwards track

I thought by now I could have figured it

All out instead I'm further back

Feels kinda stupid but I

Feel 16 in my head but I guess it's only 5 years back

But I won't see the signs

It took so long but you were always on my mind yeah

For all the times I've tried to

Take a little time out for myself

I'm just growing all alone again

But I find in my mind that I'm not

Time is running out and I just want to say I'm sorry now

Before I'm all alone again and I'm broken and cold

The ageing superhero in me is tired

Because he's lived too fast for too long

And he still longs to be inspired

I feel old feel broke feel cold and I can't fight back

It sounds so stupid I

But it's gone this train won't run

Guess it must be the track

But I won't see the signs

It took so long but you were always

On my mind yeah

For all the times I've tried to take a little time

Out for myself

I'm just growing all alone again

But I find in my mind that I'm not

Time is running out and I just want to

Say I'm sorry now

Before I'm all alone again and I'm broken and cold-

But I won't see the signs;

It took so long but you were always on my mind yeah

For all the times I've tried to take a little time

Out for myself

I'm just growing all alone again

But I find in my mind that I'm not

Time is running out and I just want to

Say I'm sorry now

Before I'm all alone again and I'm broken and cold

The ageing superhero in me is tired

Because he's lived too fast for too long

And he still longs to be inspired
