lyrics

I remember empty jars and fireflies
And fireworks on the Fourth of July
And Jenny O in the yellow house across the street

Cutting deals with baseball cards
And the Little League fields where we were stars
Rode my bike so fast thinking I could somehow beat that heat

I was so young, I felt invincible
Like some childhood Superman
And though I can close my eyes and it’s all right here
Well I’ll never walk those roads
I’ll never walk those roads again

A few years later running free
Full of piss and possibility
Going faster, going higher, going longer too

It was any way or any how
Like a man of steel with a twisted vow
If it didn’t kill me it would only make me stronger

I was so young, I felt invincible
Like some teenage Superman
And though I can close my eyes and it’s all right here
Well I’ll never walk those roads
I’ll never walk those roads again

I've got a head that’s full of worry now
That’s never sure and don’t know how
The simple answers I no longer understand

Bravado’s now just a trait of fools
And I ain’t as quick to break the rules
And it’s still hard to say but sometimes I just need a hand
Tell me where’d you go
Where are you Superman

Late at night when they’re all asleep
When all my thoughts are running deep
And my mind starts rolling backwards playing tricks on me

Tell my why the hell do I still care
About reflections in some funhouse mirror
When I can’t say for sure just what it is I see

I was so young, I felt invincible
Our good old hero Superman
Somehow I can close my eyes and it’s all right here
But I’ll never walk those roads
I'll never walk those roads again
So tell me where’d you go
Where are you Superman
