(Verse 1)
The streetlights are bleeding, a watercolor smear
The whole city’s screaming with a broadcast of fear
I’m scanning the rooftops, the alleys below
Waiting for someone to show up and go
I need a giant, a titan, a flash in the night
Someone to make all the wrongs into right
He's gotta be fast, and he's gotta be strong
He's gotta be here 'fore it all goes wrong
(Pre-Chorus)
I’m holding out for a miracle
Someone to step up and be mythical
The clock on the tower is striking the hour
I need a savior with supernatural power
(Chorus)
And they're holding out for a hero
But the statues they build are all hollow
I'm standing right here, with blood in my veins
I'm just a man trying to stand in the rain
They want a savior to fly and save the day
But I've got no powers to make it okay
This isn't a movie, the script isn't written
I am so high on this hope that I'm given
But I'm watching it all fall apart from the inside
There's nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide
(Verse 2)
You're looking at me with those desperate eyes
You're seeing a symbol that I must despise
This cape that you stitched is a dead, heavy weight
A mask that I’m really starting to hate
I'll give you my hand, I'll give you my time
I'll walk with you through the mud and the grime
But I can't stop the lightning, I can't turn the tide
I'm just as broken as you are inside
(Pre-Chorus)
You want a legend, a myth written in stars
Someone to heal all these permanent scars
But the flesh and the bone is all I can be
Why can't you just see me for me?
(Chorus)
And you're holding out for a hero
But the statues you build are all hollow
I'm standing right here, with blood in my veins
I'm just a man trying to stand in the rain
You want a savior to fly and save the day
But I've got no powers to make it okay
This isn't a movie, the script isn't written
I am so high on this hope that I'm given
But I'm watching it all fall apart from the inside
There's nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide
(Bridge)
He's gotta be larger than life!
(I'm just trying to survive)
He's gotta be fast and he's gotta be free!
(Why are you looking at me?)
You look to the sky for a sign
You're praying for something divine
But the only thing real is the ground
And the sound
Of a heart that's still beating
A voice that's repeating
"I'm not who you think I am!"
(Guitar Solo)
(Chorus)
Stop holding out for a hero!
These statues we build are all hollow
Just stand here with me, with blood in your veins
Be the one who can stand in the rain
We wait for a savior to fly and save the day
But we have the power to make it okay
This is our movie, the script isn't written
We are so high on this chance that we're given!
We won't watch it all fall apart from the inside
We’ve nowhere to run, and we've nowhere to hide
(Outro)
Nowhere to hide
I’m not your hero
Be your own hero
Nowhere to hide
The rain keeps falling.
