Lyrics:

I miss when I had superpowers
My imagination was my friend and it ran wild and free
I could waste a couple hours
Without a worry in the world staring at stars out on my trampoline, yeah 
 
I miss when Andy McAuthur was the fastest kid there was and kid there was ever gonna be 
Ken Griffey Jr. was a giant before parents got divorced and I learned that there was gravity 
 
I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away 
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up's not getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old
I miss my old 
 
I miss my Bible study leader
Had all the answers for living in the big bad world 
Don’t know if he still talks to Jesus 
But his wife's remarried now and I think he sells garage doors  
 
I miss when I thought chasing dreams was 
Holy magic behind curtains in a sacred place
Before it was managers and lawyers 
Who colored up and cashed them out 
For vacation homes in coastal states 
 
I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away 
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah 
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up’s not getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old
I miss my old 
I miss my old heroes
 
I miss my old heroes
 
I miss back when the world was small and we had all the answers
I miss how it was when we were young 
I miss back before I understood all the ways that life would break your heart 
Before I knew that's what they called growing up 
 
I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away 
I miss my old heroes yeah yeah 
God I wish they could’ve stayed
Cause it turns out that the hardest part of growing up’s not just getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old
I miss my old 
I miss my old heroes 
I miss my old heroes

Lyrics:
I’ve seen the northern lights  
The British countryside 
Every single southern college town 
Sat with important men  
And felt like one of them 
Stood at Cypress in between the clouds 
Thought I'd seen all there is to see 

Spent all this time chasing my dreams 
But none of them came true till you were here with me  
It’s a wonderful world filled with fabulous things  
I'd trade it all away to have you here with me  
It’s a wonderful world  
It’s a wonderful world  

I’ve taken medicine 
I bought an ottoman  
I got a bigger house with bigger trees  
I'm getting better at not blaming mom and dad
I'm trying to figure out what it all means  
I thought that I'd done all the right things  

I spent all this time building a dream  
But none of it came true till you were here with me  
It’s a wonderful world filled with fabulous things 
I'd trade it all away to have you here with me  
It's a wonderful world   
It's a wonderful world   
It's a wonderful world   
It's a wonderful world   

I spent all this time chasing a dream  
But none of it was true until you were here with me 
It’s a wonderful world filled with fabulous things 
I'd trade them all away to have you here with me  

I'd trade them all away to have you here with me

Forever (Doesn’t Quite Seem Long Enough)
