Verse (with piano only)
Staring into the intersection
She thinks that she can fly and she might
Holding on in a new direction she's gonna try it tonight
The closer I get to feeling the further that I’m feelin from alright
The more I step into the sun the more I step out of the light
(drums)
Jessica's covered in a blanket on the Sunday porch
Thinking of weekends she would party in the city
She doesn’t have a flame
She prefers to burn out like a torch
If she gets no where in life at least she knows she pretty

What does it take to be a superhero in my world
Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl
We can escape, and then we'd skate away from all of this
But no one ever does
