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

Stephen Stanley - Whatever It Takes (Benyourfriend Remix)

Wild One is high energy hope filled indie rock anthem with all the characteristics to become a classic. With a vibe like something you would hear at a Kings of Leon or The Killers concert, this song would find good company with any alt rock enthusiast.
