lyrics

I, I can remember
Standing, beneath the wall
While the guns
Shot over our heads
And we kissed
We kissed
As though nothing could fall

And the shame
Was on the other side
We can beat them, together
We can do this, forever and ever

We can be heroes
Just for one day

We can be heroes
Just for one day

Reckoner
Can't take it with you
Dancing for your pleasure

You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractors
Dare not speak its name

Dedicated to all you
All you human beings

Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore
Because we separate
Like ripples on a blank shore

Reckoner
Take me with you

Dedicated to all you
human beings

I, I wish I could swim
Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim

We can be Heroes
We can be Heroes
Just for one day

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
And nothing will keep us together
