Melissa Manchester Wish We Were Heroes song lyrics

Somewhere down the line

We found the rhythm and the rhyme

Like two notes played out of time

Now we don't fit in the score

Somehow through the years

We let the laughter turn to tears

And all those feelings wanted so clear

Just aren't here anymore, anymore

And sometimes I wish we were heroes in the setting sun

Ride off together when the story's done

No sad goodbyes, no alibis

Just two heroes waiting from the back of a train

Two heroes never feeling all of the pain

The heartbreaking bending of knowing the ending is here

And it's time for goodbye

But so much for heroes

We could never be heroes, because heroes don't cry

Someone used to say

Love is a wind that goes astray

Stirs a heart then goes away, but who's to say, what makes it go

But you know, I wish we were heroes in the setting sun

Ride off together when the story's done

No sad goodbyes, no alibis

Just two heroes waiting from the back of a train

Two heroes never feeling all of the pain

The heartbreaking bending of knowing the ending is here

And it's time for goodbye

But so much for heroes

We could never be heroes because heroes don't cry

And sometimes I wish we were heroes in the setting sun

Ride off together when the story's done

Just two heroes waiting from the back of a train

Two heroes never feeling all of the pain
