Every time I think I'm going up
I find out that I just slid back
I got it all wrong you know I
Feel younger than I did when I was younger on a backwards track
I thought by now
I could have figured it all out
Instead I'm further back
It feels kinda stupid but I
Feel sixteen in my head but I guess it's only five years back
But I won't see the signs
It took so long but you were always on my mind, yeah

For all the times I tried to take a little time out for myself
I'm just growing all alone again
But I find in my mind that I'm not
Time is running out and I just want to say I'm sorry now
Before I'm all alone again
And I'm broke and I'm cold
The ageing superhero in me is tired
'Cause he's lived too fast for too long
And he still longs to be inspired

I feel old, feel broke, feel cold
And I can't fight back
It sounds so stupid I —
But it's gone, this train won't run, guess it must be the track
But I won't see the signs
It took so long but you were always on my mind, yeah
For all the times I tried to take a little time out for myself
I'm just growing all alone again
But I find in my mind that I'm not
Time is running out and I just want to say I'm sorry now
Before I'm all alone again
And I'm broke and I'm cold

Dee do
Dee do
Dee da dee da dee da
Dee da dee do
Dee do
Da dee do
Dee da dee da
Dee do

But I won't see the signs
It took so long but you were always on my mind, yeah

For all the times I tried to take a little time out for myself
I'm just growing all alone again
But I find in my mind that I'm not
Time is running out and I just want to say I'm sorry now
Before I'm all alone again
And I'm broke and I'm cold
The ageing superhero in me is tired
'Cause he's lived too fast for too long
And he still longs to be inspired
