Hero Lyrics - Singles - Bloc Party

Oh no, another bad day, waste of promises 

Are we really getting near? 

Kick off your work shoes, rest a little 

There's nothing for you to prove. 

Is it funny or is it sad? 

We leave and enter on our own 

Is it funny or is it sad? 

We never really know anyone 

I'm telling you my only secret 

I'm so lonely, she said 

I'm waiting for a hero to save the day 

A heaviness so relentless 

An emptiness so monumental 

I'm waiting for a hero to save the day 

Across the sea I can hear you're tired 

What is there left to see? 

Smash of keyboard into their faces 

A silence so satisfying 

I can understand why you left your home 

I can understand 

I'm telling you... 

'Cause we're twenty, twenty, twenty-two 

Bleeding stars, stars and happy thoughts 

'Cause we're twenty, twenty, twenty-two 

Waiting for the rain, the rain to stop 

'Cause I'm a boy and you're a girl 

And what else is there in this world? 

I can make you smile, I can make you laugh 

What else is there in this world? 

So take my hand and marry me 

I'll make your branches sprout a-green 

I can make you smile, I can make you laugh 

What else is there in this world? 

And if you take my hand 

I'll lead you to the promised land 

Just call in sick 

Our time is now 

I've got so much love to give 

A vessel to receive it 

Take the day off work 

Our time is now, our time is now
