I miss when I had superpowers
My imagination was my friend and it ran wild and free
I could waste a couple hours
Without a worry in the world, starin' at stars out on my trampoline, yeah

I miss when Andy McArthur was the fastest
Kid there ever was and kid there was ever gonna be
Ken Griffey Jr. was a giant
before parents got divorced and I learned that there was gravity

I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away
I miss my old heroes, yeah, yeah
God, I wish they could've stayed
'Cause it turns out that the hardest part
Of growing up's not getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old, I miss my old

I miss my Bible study leader
Had all the answers for livin' in the big bad world
Don't know if he still talks to Jesus
But his wife's remarried now and I think he sells garage doors

I miss when I thought chasing dreams was
Holy magic behind curtains in a sacred place
Before it was managers and lawyers
Who colored up and cashed them out for vacation homes in coastal states

I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away
I miss my old heroes, yeah, yeah
God, I wish they could've stayed
'Cause it turns out that the hardest part
Of growing up's not getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old, I miss my old
I miss my old heroes
I miss my old heroes

I miss back when the world was small and we had all the answers
I miss how it was when we were young
I miss back before I understood all the ways that life would break your heart
Before I knew that's what they called growing up

Mm

I miss my old heroes
I had to give them all away
I miss my old heroes, yeah, yeah
God, I wish they could've stayed
'Cause it turns out that the hardest part
Of growing up's not just getting old
It's learning how the real world goes
I miss my old, I miss my old
I miss my old heroes
I miss my old heroes
