I'm a hero in my own film
Made a mountain out of a hill
From the future into the cold
I'm a hero in my own world
But I don't feel washed away
Got my feelings hurt yesterday
Got my vital signs
And my head's on fine
Yea I don't feel washed away
I'm a zero in my home town
Took the high road, head in the clouds
Got my needle at the wrong speed
I'm a zero out of my league

All lined up in a row
Watching my days go
Life is gonna be swell
Someday
Gazing out of my cage
Craving the data age
I wish I could go
Out into the world
But I can't pick up the phone
My heart is disaster prone
My shadow still hasn't grown older
The dream has started to fade
My friends are all twice my age
But I'm still hoping it'll change
Someday
Bought my tickets to hell
Crawled in my own cell
Life is gonna be swell
Someday
Saw my life in a blur
A myriad shades of her
I wish you could see
What you mean to me

The way it goes, nobody knows
Oh what a day it's been
I can't believe what I have done
The little hurts, the fireworks
Held in my fragile arms
Are kisses from the sun
And I don't know why
Even though I try
I can't seem to realise
Love is right in front of my eyes
And my life's a mess
And my mind's obsessed
But I know I'm blessed
It took a while, but now I smile
Now that I've floated up
I'm looking down over the earth
The colour burst, the universe
Just to exist at all
It's more than I deserve
The secret cure, I know you're there
Hiding just beneath my skin
But I don't know how to get in
A flurry on the pheromones
of what tomorrow brings

Thinking about myself again
I know it's narcissistic
But something's weighing on my brain
Only way to fix it
Down with the rotten roots
Where it all began
I've never been good at love
I don't know why it scares me
I drift a thousand miles
And I still don't feel ready
She's bound to bail
When she finds out who I am
All my deeds
Come polluted in my sin
They have always been
And now I bleed
In a war I cannot win
The sun rises another day
You start it all again
I spend a lot of time alone
I'm trying to be an artist
But I'm so scared I've lost the soul
I had back when I started
Inside my tired mind
I know there's something real
People shake their fists at me
At all my strange behaviour
And now it dawns on me
I will always be a failure
Caught in a battle
Of my conscience and my dreams
Still I feel
Like the only alien
Without a friend
So don't ask me
How the story's gonna end
The sun rises another day
You start it all again

You think you know
Til someone proves you wrong
It makes you wonder
What else am I doing wrong
Face yourself
Stand up to the light
You see right through the other side
A million angels in the air
A vagrant ocean unaware
Fall into the light
Now I need a lie detector
Fall into the light
Now I need a lie detector
I found my home
Stolen by a hurricane
Crushed by numbers
And all my wicked games
Locked away
Treated like an enemy
The me that I don't wanna see
A thousand fires in my lungs
I know I'm not the only one

In time the sun will arise
And your bad dreams vaporise for good
In time the sun will arise
And the heavens will appear
And that day, you'll put it behind you
And your frail state of mind is gone for good

C'mon, how long can you go?
C'mon, out there on your own
So c'mon, everybody knows
C'mon, out there in the cold
Come home spaceboy
Where you're from
All your worries
Will be gone
We just know that
You'll be strong
Come home
Where you belong
And now, the whole world is a crutch
All those years, you've been slowly giving up
So c'mon, what's it gonna take
To move past your mistakes?

Look at how far, far that you've come
Look at all that you've done
Look at all of the good, good things you've done
And think of the times you were alone
You were never alone
You were always a good, good friend of mine
Inside your heart there is a pain
Inside the pain there is a spark
Inside the spark there is a future
And it's now
Inside your palms there is a flame
Inside the flame there is a chance
Inside the chance there is a world
And I know I'm outta my mind to feel down, to feel down
And I know I'm outta my mind to feel down, to feel down
People over the world
People over the world
People over the world
All feel the same
Slipping under the urge
Slipping under the urge
Slipping under the urge
To hide away
Inside your veins there is a pulse
Inside the pulse there is a voice
Inside the voice there is a blueprint
To a hope
Inside the hope there is a friend
Inside the friend there is an end
Inside your palms there is a world

My eyes turn grey
My songs will age and
I won't come back
My lips turn pale
My nerves will fail and
My skin will crack
Will you stay around?
The banks will close
The stars implode and
Our homes will rust
The final call
Will find us all and
Silence us
Will you stay around?

Calling my name from the front pages
How do they grow so tall?
Where do I stand through the world's ages?
I don't appear at all
I feel so small
I feel so small
Saying my prayers while my flesh rages
Waiting for God to call
Going alone though my heart's jaded
Epitome of a fool
I feel so small
I feel so small

Summer's gone, it's 1980
The final box is all packed up
And all your friends are on the drive
They came to say goodbye
And down your arms the years come streaming
The Blue Gum Bird has been replaced
And as you turn to pull away
The heavens start to cry
And all this time it didn't matter
If you came first or last
The world you thought that you were changing
Was never in your grasp
Ignore those tales on television
The best you can has always been enough
Winter's flown, the city's changing
The face of home has all grown up
The places where you used to play
Have all been built anew
The neighbours kids, in empty car parks
Flying their paper aeroplane
And up it soars, the Blue Gum Bird
They named it after you
And all this time it didn't matter
If you were right or wrong
The love you thought that you were missing
Was with you all along
Ignore those taunts of inner demons
The best you can has always been enough
