song of the moment - i'm not your hero

song of the moment
i'm not your hero
tegan and sara

standing where i am now, standing up at all

i was used to feeling like i was never gonna see myself at the finish line

hanging on to parts of me, hanging on at all

i was used to seeing no future in my sight line

sometimes it feels like they wanna remind me

send all those villains after me

i'm not their hero

but that doesn't mean that i wasn't brave

i never walked the party line

doesn't mean that i was never afraid

i'm not your hero

but that doesn't mean we're not one and the same

feeling like i am now lighting up the hall

i was used to standing in the shadow of a damaged heart

learning all i know now, losing all i did

i never used to feel like i'd be standing so far ahead

sometimes it feels what i recovered you lost

sending your peaceful loss to me

i'm not their hero

but that doesn't mean that i wasn't brave

i never walked the party line

doesn't mean that i was never afraid

i'm not your hero

but that doesn't mean we're not one and the same

sometimes it feels like the side that i'm on

plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand

sometimes it feels like i'm all that they've got

it's so hard to know i'm not what they want

sometimes it feels like the side that i'm on

plays the toughest hand, holds the longest stand

sometimes it feels like i'm all that they've got

it's so hard to know i'm not what they want

i'm not their hero

but that doesn't mean that i wasn't brave

i never walked the party line

doesn't mean that i was never afraid

i'm not your hero

but that doesn't mean we're not one and the same

i do my best to walk the finest line

‘til i've had all that i can take

I saw this video (the first one) a few years ago and absolutely loved it, but didn't know what the name of the song was.  I couldn't remember enough of the lyrics to do a search, and I was bummed.
I was watching a show yesterday, and heard that dude's voice in the background music (he does have a very distinct voice).  I was psyched, cuz I knew I could look up the band from the show.
I did.
Yay!
Why did I feel the need to share all this?
That is an excellent question.
Thank you.
You're quite welcome.
Ummm....   ooh, coffee  :-)
