Teenage Hero

I was a teenage hero
Chewing gum on the train
In the dark in December
Listening to electro
European pop and techno
You know I wasn't going to save anybody
I barely felt I lived in my body
You know I wasn't going to save anybody
I just wanted somebody to save me
I saw the lights from the platform
Flickering red from wagons
In the dark in December
Fiddling with the buttons
On your vintage overcoat
You know I wasn't going to save anybody
I barely felt like I lived in my body
You know I wasn't going to save anybody
I just wanted somebody to save me
The sodium lights on the metal benches
On the concrete floor
That's where I pulled my punches
And I've got a hunch you always knew
I wasn't going to save anybody
Every button's got an anchor
But I'll never be a sailor
I'm not scared of the water
I'm scared of the leaving
I'm scared to move
You know I wasn't going to save anybody
I barely feel like I live in my body
You know I wasn't going to save anybody
I just wanted somebody to save me
The Christmas lights through the door
Look like we're being raided
And I've got a hunch you always knew
I wasn't going to save anybody
I'm scared of the leaving
I'm scared of the leaving
I'm scared of the leaving
I'm scared of the leaving
I've got a hunch you always knew

Sunny now
Is it sunny now
Are you warm inside
Or does the wind
Rip the life right from
The words that leave your mouth
The words that leave your mouth
Scatter travel south
Borne upon your best intentions
Ride the waves away
Funny now
Funny now
Does a smile flick your lips
A kiss from a queen we can't see
You're talking now
Crown her with your wit
Drown her quick
In the words that leave your mouth
Warm and with no doubt
Confetti with the best intentions
Wave the weight away
'Cause that's not how it's supposed to end on a Saturday night
Give me that part again until you get it right
That's not how it's supposed to end on a Saturday night
Give me that part again until you get it right
Until you know it's right
And the words that leave your mouth
Champagne bubble out
Borne upon your best intentions
Wave the weight away
Wave the weight away
Wave the waves away
That's not how it's supposed to end on a Saturday night

I had a dream that I was failing
Then I woke up and did some living
And then all of my dreams came true
I had a plan that I was making
But the web of the world was unforgiving
Me and all of my plans fell through
I sat in the car in the retail park
In the brittle winter sun
Down at the beach the wind was a scream
But in the city there was none
It was still
I was still
Waiting for you
I had a wish I wanted granted
But this magic wand that I've been handed
Sparks and backfires when it's used
In the car next to me is a divorcee
Who's putting on her face
With the engine running in the winter sun
Is she planning her escape
To chase a thrill
I was still
Waiting for you
I was still
