Hero

Album: My Wild West (2016)

  • Who knows what you'll find when you look inside?
    Haunted beach, roll the dice
    The zombies in the corner aren't amused
    Play the part of the blushing bride
    Tame the horse and take it for a ride
    This thread of consolation comes loose

    I could've been a hero, I could've been a zero
    Could've been all these things
    I could've been nothing, I could've been bluffing
    Could've been all these things
    And if I am unable, tell him that I'll try
    But underneath the table
    I will spin the wheel and hope for gold

    I've seen the road and I've seen it hide
    Out of view, cloaked by night
    I want my forty acres in the sun
    Bitter winds come in from the north
    My spirit dims, but I feel the force
    "No longer in my hands," I say to you

    I could've been a hero, I could've been a zero
    Could've been all these things
    I could've been nothing, I could've had something
    Could've been all these things
    And if I am unable, tell him that I'll try
    But underneath the table
    I will spin the wheel and hope for gold
    Oh, and where it stops, nobody knows

    Could've been, would've been, should've should've been
    Could've been, would've been
    Would've been, should've been, I could've been

    I could've been a hero, I could've been a zero
    Could've been all these things
    I could've been nothing, I could've been something
    Could've been all these things
    And if I am unable, tell him that I'll try
    Underneath the table
    Hope for gold
    Where it stops, nobody knows Writer/s: CURT SCHNEIDER, ELISABETH CORRIN MAURUS
