Every time I think I'm going up
 I find out that I just slid 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
 It feels kinda stupid but I
 Feel sixteen in my head but I guess it's only five 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 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 [bad word] out and I just want to say I'm sorry now
 Before I'm all alone again
 And I'm broke and I'm cold
 The ageing superhero in me is tired
 'Cause 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 [bad word]  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 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 [bad word] out and I just want to say I'm sorry now
 Before I'm all alone again
 And I'm broke and I'm cold

 Dee do
 Dee do
 Dee da dee da dee da
 Dee da dee do
 Dee do
 Da dee do
 Dee da dee da
 Dee do

 But I won't see the signs
 It took so long but you were always on my mind, yeah

 For all the times I 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 [bad word] out and I just want to say I'm sorry now
 Before I'm all alone again
 And I'm broke and I'm cold
 The ageing superhero in me is tired
 'Cause he's lived too fast for too long
 And he still longs to be inspired
