Hero Lyrics by Bloc Party

Silent Alarm Remixed

2005

[Verse 1: Kele Okereke]
Another bad day, waste of promise
Are we really getting near?
Kick off your work shoes, rest a little
There's nothing for you to prove
Is it funny or is it sad?
We leave and enter on our own
Is it funny or is it sad?
We never really know anyone

[Chorus 1: Kele Okereke & Gordon Moakes]
(Hero) "I'm telling you my only secret; I'm so lonely", she said
(Hero) I'm waiting for a hero to save the day
(Hero) A heaviness so relentless
An emptiness so monumental
(Hero) I'm waiting for a hero to save the day

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Kele Okereke]
Across the sea, I can hear you're tired
What is there left to see?
Now smash your keyboard into their faces
A silence so satisfying
I can understand why you left your home
I can understand

[Chorus 2: Kele Okereke & Gordon Moakes]
(Hero) "I'm telling you my only secret; I'm so lonely", she said
(Hero) I'm waiting for a hero to save the day
(Hero) A heaviness so relentless
An emptiness so monumental
(Hero) I'm waiting for a hero to save the day

[Bridge: Kele Okereke & Gordon Moakes]
(Oh) 'Cause we're twenty, twenty, twenty-two
(Oh) Bleeding stars, stars and happy thoughts
(Oh) 'Cause we're twenty, twenty, twenty-two
(Oh) Waiting for the rain, the rain to stop

[Verse 3: Kele Okereke]
'Cause I'm a boy and you're a girl
And what else is there in this world?
I can make you smile, I can make you laugh
What else is there in this world?
So take my hand and marry me
I'll make your branches sprout a-green
I can make you smile, I can make you laugh
What else is there in this world?

[Chorus 3: Kele Okereke & Gordon Moakes]
(Hero) And if you take my hand
I'll lead you to the promised land
(Hero) Just call in sick, our time is now
(Hero) I've got so much love to give
A vessel to receive it
(Hero) Take the day off work, our time is now
Our time is now
