about

Because everybody likes a song about Superheroes
and bacon..

lyrics

I saw your face in a photograph
You’re standing tall and staring back at me
With just a smile and simple clothes
I knew that you were hiding so much more

I wish that I could know you just a little more
I wish that I could know you at all

So Superman or Spiderman? Or French toast or bacon on your stove?
And who’s your spirit animal? And who would act in the movie of your life?
And do you take your coffee plain?
And do you eat the slice without any shame?
And when your sad or broken down, what makes it all better right away?

And I can’t sleep, cuz’ I’m dreaming, can’t seem to shake this feeling
Are you anything at all like me?
Just maybe we are so close, just maybe I don’t know
Are you anything at all like me?

You’re just a simple mystery, just another stone that’s left unturned
A puzzle from a factory, a riddle left without a single clue

I wish that I could know you just a little more
I wish that I could know you at all

So what’s your karaoke song?
And who’d you want to be when you were young?
And do you like the cats or dogs?
And what’s your favorite place to go at night?
And if you could have a super-power, just what would it be and tell me why?
And do you pick the Beatles or Stones, or Roger Moore or Connery to play Bond?

(Chorus)
