Hero/ Heroine- Boys Like Girls

Posted on January 25th, 2008 in Song of the Day by Tatertot

Boys Like Girls“Hero/ Heroine” by Boys Like Girls is their best song. It should have been their single released instead of The Great Escape. Not that I don’t like The Great Escape but this song blows it out of the water. It is high pitched and the singer Martin Johnson is amazing at holding the high notes. I try to sing this song and I cant even go that high! There is a part in the song where they sort of stops the song and than it comes back suddenly and he is singing the chorus again. That is my favorite part. It really “Caught me off guard.” My second favorite part is at the REAL ending and his voice is over lapping another voice. They are both singing the chorus but at different parts. I would usually think that sounds bad because it would be too much, but it actually sounds awesome. I love this song, it’s great!

Love,

Tayler!

Here are the lyrics to “Hero/Heroine”:

It’s too late baby, there’s no turning around
I’ve got my hands in my pocket
and my head in a cloud
This is how I do
When I think about you
I never thought that you could break me apart
I keep a sinister smile and a hole in my heart
You want to get inside
Then you can get in line
But not this time

Cause you caught me off guard
Now I’m running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine

I won’t try to philosophize
I’ll just take a deep breath and
I’ll look in your eyes
This is how I feel
And its so surreal
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and the skeletons
And I don’t know why
You’d even try
But I won’t lie

You caught me off guard
Now I’m running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love
is the sweetest sin?

And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
I’m feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It’s not complicated
I was so jaded

And you caught me off guard
Now I’m running and screaming

I feel like a hero and you are my heroine
Do you know that your love
is the sweetest sin?

(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
(Do you know that your love
is the sweetest sin?)
I’m feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It’s not complicated
I was so jaded

(I feel like a hero and you are my heroine)
And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
(Do you know that your love is the sweetest sin?)
I’m feeling like a new born child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It’s not complicated
I was so jaded
