Heroine
Lisa Mitchell Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Coffee, coffee, you’re my heroine,
You open my eyes better than anyone,
Oh, when I’ve done all the things that I want to do,
Make sure I’m buried next to somebody I’d like to talk to,
Oh, she lives again.

Well, Esmeralda, you’re my heroine,
The way she dances is cooler than anyone,
When I’ve done all the things that I want to do,
Make sure I’m buried next to somebody who likes to argue,
Oh, she lives again.

Édith Piaf, now she’s my heroine,
A bolder sparrow there has never been,
Oh, when I’ve done all the things that I want to do,
Make sure I’m buried next to somebody I’d like to talk to,
Oh, she lives again.

Hey Charlie, oh Charlie, yeah you’re my heroine,
Technically a he, but he is quite feminine,
Oh, when I’ve done all the things that I want to do,
Make sure I’m buried next to somebody who likes to argue,
Oh, she lives again.

And Little Red Rider, now she’s my heroine,
A fiercer shade of red, I’ve never seen,
Oh, when I’ve sung all the songs that I want to sing,
Make sure you hold onto the lady with the blue ring,
Oh, she lives again.

First sign of spring, oh, you’re my heroine,
You left mightiness high, high as anyone,
So when I’ve sung all the songs that I want to sing,




I'll be glad the seasons always have their change to bring,
Oh, she lives again.
