Heroine
Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 of my heart
You want to get inside
Then you can to 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
Then I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel and it's so so real
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 lock down
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?

And I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lock down
And then you turned me around

Now 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 I feel a weakness coming on
Never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lock down
And then you turned me around
Now I'm feeling like a new born child




Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated

Overall Meaning

The song "Hero" by Boys Like Girls is a love ballad that expresses a man's feelings towards the woman that he loves. The opening lines paint a picture of a man with his head in the clouds and his hands in his pocket, lost in thoughts of his love, knowing that there is no turning back. He is aware of the possibility that love could break him apart, but welcomes it with open arms.


Throughout the song, he sings about how his love fills him with a new sense of purpose and strength; he feels like a hero when he is with her and she is his heroine. He acknowledges that he is flawed and has a closet filled with skeletons from his past, but every time he sees her smile, he feels like a newborn child, free from the weight of the world. In the end, he realizes he was wrong to close off his heart for so long, and now that she has turned him around, he feels alive.

Full Lyrics It's too late baby, there's no turning around
I 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 hold of 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 then I'll look in your eyes
This is how I feel
And it's so surreal
I got a closet filled up to the brim
With the ghosts of my past and their 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
It never felt so good to be so wrong
Had my heart on lockdown
And then you turned me around
And I'm feeling like a newborn 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
It 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?)
And I'm feeling like a newborn 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
It 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?)
And I'm feeling like a newborn child
Every time I get a chance to see you smile
It's not complicated
I was so jaded

I was in high school when this came out. It's crazy how time flies, isn't it? One moment, you're at your school, worrying about simple things like homeworks and puppy loves. You blinked, and you're sitting on an office desk contemplating your life decisions.

Kenny Crafton

yes!
