about

This started off with Weezer in mind ... but ended up in kind of a different place ..

lyrics

Hero

She mumbles out her feelings and doesn’t care if I don’t get the words
She likes to write these lyrics that no-one understands but her

And I’ve tried to make the case a million times
But there’s nothing I can say that will make her change her mind
I say think of all the good that you could do
You could be a hero for someone like you

And she says
I don’t care if you smear me, forget me, or revere me
And I don’t need your queries about the things that I’ve written
Cause I write songs for zeroes, for freaks, and for weirdos
And who needs a hero when all that we’re trying to do is fit in

She looks like a survivor from some apocalyptic flick
And her gear looks like McGyver fashioned it from gum and toothpicks

And I’ve tried to make the case a million times
But there’s nothing I can say that will make her change her mind
I say think of all the good that you could do
You could be a hero for someone like you

And she says
I don’t care if you smear me, forget me, or revere me
And I don’t need your queries about the things that I’ve written
Cause I write songs for zeroes, for freaks, and for weirdos
And who needs a hero when all that we’re trying to do is fit in

In between the rails of your picket fence
And don’t take offense
But your world is so boring

To be honest, I write songs for myself
And it’s great if they help somebody else
But I’m not going to risk my mental health
For a couple extra listens

In my heart I’m just a zero. I’m freak and a weirdo
I’m no-one’s hero, and I’m never going to fit in

And she says
I don’t care if you smear me, forget me, or revere me
And I don’t need your queries about the things that I’ve written
Cause I write songs for zeroes, for freaks, and for weirdos
And who needs a hero when all that we’re trying to do is fit in
