Superhuman Strength (Acoustic) Lyrics

We had went down to the schoolyard, used to take your friends

Tipping those old heavy dumpsters, hide around the bend

Superhuman strength

Though we were two, it was only you who pulled it off

Picking junk up off the sidewalk, diamonds at your feet

One could never spit upon you, you were undisturbed

Superhuman strength

I only learned to run that day you chased me down

Though you were oh so cruel

And that's the part, that's the part I knew

Oh I couldn't blame you

How were you to know

And two weeks on, that it had happened

At sixteen I left for France

I would have loved to tell you

It wasn't like you thought

When my father came home early, with an awful face

Told me something strange had happened, slow-mo into space

Superhuman strength

I'm older now than you were on that day you died

Though you were oh so cruel

And that's the part I knew

Oh I couldn't blame you

How were you to know

And two weeks on, that it had happened

At sixteen I left for France

I would have loved to tell you

It wasn't like you thought
