Superhero
I am not a superhero
I only play one on TV
To lend the world some inspiration
And sell it back its self-esteem
I'll give you something to grow up with
Until you look behind the scenes
And find the secrets of my power
Are tin and polyethylene
I am not a superhero
I'm not the man up on the screen
Carving clear lines through crooked questions
With lightning fists and laser beams
I hide my fear with fog and mirrors
They make it easy to believe
But I wonder, when this costume's gone
Will you still look up to me
I am not a superhero
Though I can't say I never tried
To be the one who held the world for you
And wiped away the tears you cried
And if the act has lost its magic
And if I'm not all that you dreamed
I hope you won't forget my best attempts
And everything they used to mean
I only play one on TV
To lend the world some inspiration
And sell it back its self-esteem
I'll give you something to grow up with
Until you look behind the scenes
And find the secrets of my power
Are tin and polyethylene
I am not a superhero
I'm not the man up on the screen
Carving clear lines through crooked questions
With lightning fists and laser beams
I hide my fear with fog and mirrors
They make it easy to believe
But I wonder, when this costume's gone
Will you still look up to me
I am not a superhero
Though I can't say I never tried
To be the one who held the world for you
And wiped away the tears you cried
And if the act has lost its magic
And if I'm not all that you dreamed
I hope you won't forget my best attempts
And everything they used to mean
