After playing together for more than five years now (yes, they were 11 when they formed the band), and with hundreds of shows from coast to coast under their belts, this hard working suburban rock band is setting themselves apart from all the others with a performance and chemistry that significantly surpasses their age.

Their music is guitar driven, alternative rock with strong hooks and mature vocals; their sound is rooted in classic rock, mixed in with their modern day musical tastes with some teen angst and what you get is authentic rock for today’s generation, unlike any teen band that you have heard before and impossible to ignore.

The band was a Radio Disney "Next Big Thing" top ranking artist with their single "Catch Me If You Can" on the Top 15 charts for months and a 'Top 50 Song of 2009'. They were also featured on iTunes as the free 'Discovery Download of the Week'. Their music has been featured on ESPN, NASCAR and others and their music video on FUSE TV and Disney XD channel. This past summer the band played gigs ranging from Vans Warped to Radio Disney concerts. They also performed at CMJ, were chosen to be part of Taco Bell's 'Feed the Beat" program and were invited to walk the red carpet and perform at the official after party for the 2009 American Music Awards.

They've been featured on AOL, Gibson, Popstar! Magazine, Just Jared, Jr., AP.net the NY Post and many others.

Catch Me If You Can
Comic Book Heroes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm walkin' down the boulevard
Girls glancin' from their yards
They see me and start to scream
Flowin' down the street like a stream
Pick up the pace, start to run
Now here's where begins the fun

And when you figure out where I am

I'll be somewhere else and
You'll be chasing me again
But I'm never gonna understand
Why you keep chasing me over
And over again... Catch me if you can

The hand is quicker than the eye
Well my foot thinks that's a lie
I'm faster than a roadrunner bird
No matter how much you've heard
Come on girls, don't make me laugh
Can't you do the math?

And when you figure out where I am
I'll be somewhere else and
you'll be chasing me again
But I'm never gonna understand
Why you keep chasing me over
And over again... Catch me if you can

Run, run, run as fast as you can
You can't catch me I'm the rockin' man
Run, run, run as fast you can
Come on baby catch me if you can

I'm walkin' down the boulevard
Girls glancin' from their yard
They see me and start to scream
Flowin' down the street like a stream
Pick up the pace, start to run
Now here's where begins the fun

And when you figure out where I am
I'll be somewhere else and
You'll be chasing me again
But I'm never gonna understand

Why you keep chasing me over
And over again... Catch me if you can

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Comic Book Heroes' song "Catch Me If You Can" are a playful and boastful taunt to anyone trying to keep up with the singer as he struts down the boulevard. He claims to be faster than a roadrunner bird and challenges anyone to try to catch him. The hook of the song is "Catch me if you can," which he repeats multiple times throughout the song. Even if he is caught, the singer plans to keep moving and stay one step ahead of whoever is chasing him.

The lyrics suggest a carefree and rebellious attitude, as if the singer is not concerned about the consequences of his actions. He's causing chaos and getting attention from girls who are screaming as they watch him go by. The song is a celebration of living in the moment and embracing one's own individuality, even if it means being chased down the street. The singer is confident in his own abilities and does not seem to be intimidated by anyone trying to catch him.

In a broader sense, the song can also be interpreted as a metaphor for the pursuit of happiness. The singer is constantly on the move and suggests that he will never be caught because he is always pursuing his own happiness. He is not willing to settle for a monotonous life and is always looking for something more exciting.

I'm walkin' down the boulevard
I'm strolling down the street

Girls glancin' from their yards
The females in their houses noticing me

They see me and start to scream
They witness me and scream with excitement

Flowin' down the street like a stream
I'm smoothly walking like water through a river

Pick up the pace, start to run
I'm accelerating and now sprinting

Now here's where begins the fun
This is the point where it gets exciting

And when you figure out where I am
Once you find my whereabouts

I'll be somewhere else and
I'll already be located elsewhere

You'll be chasing me again
You'll have to pursue me once more

But I'm never gonna understand
I won't comprehend

Why you keep chasing me over
Why you repeatedly follow me
