Lyrics Ageing superhero Newton Faulkner

Ageing superhero

Every time I think of growing up I find out that I just slipped 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,

Feels kinda stupid but I,

Feel 16 in my head but I guess it's only 5 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've 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 broken and cold,

The ageing superhero in me is tired.

Because 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've 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 broken and cold.

But I won't see the signs;

it took so long but you were always on my mind, yeah,

For all the times I've tried to take a little time out for myself,

I'm just growing all alone again

But I won't see the signs,

it took so long but you were always on my mind, yeah.

For all the times I've 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 broken and cold,

The ageing superhero in me is tired

Because he's lived too fast for too long,

and he still longs to be inspired.
