Verse (with piano only)

Staring into the intersection

She thinks that she can fly and she might

Holding on in a new direction she's gonna try it tonight

The closer I get to feeling the further that I’m feelin from alright

The more I step into the sun the more I step out of the light

(drums)

Jessica's covered in a blanket on the Sunday porch

Thinking of weekends she would party in the city

She doesn’t have a flame

She prefers to burn out like a torch

If she gets no where in life at least she knows she pretty

Chorus: She said hey, now, the straw dog's out in the street

What does it take to be a superhero in my world

Make no mistake that these villains always get the girl

We can escape, and then we'd skate away from all of this

But no one ever does

Chorus
