Heroes & Thieves - Vanessa Carlton

Well disaster

It strikes on a daily basis

I’m looking for wisdom

In all the wrong places

But still want to laugh

In disappointed faces

But you can’t help me

I’m blinded by these

Heroes and thieves at my door

I can’t seem to tell them apart anymore

And just when I’ve figured it out

Oh, darling it’s you I’m without

Well I’m stubborn and wrong

But at least I know it

I keep moving along

And hope I can get through this

But maybe this song

Is the best I can do it

So I’m patiently

Waiting on these

Heroes and thieves at my door

I can’t seem to tell them apart anymore

And just when I’ve figured it out

Oh, darling it’s you, darling it’s you

Oh, darling it’s you I’m

Without your comforting logic

Like these days are the ones I’ll miss

And I seek a solitude

That I can’t find without you

Well it seems like I’m getting

Closer somehow

A flicker of peace

That I’ve finally found

Thank you for believing in me now

Cause I do need it

Give me a year or two

And I’ll mend my ways

And see these mistakes

And when I see the truth

Well darling trust me

When I can see

I’ll be coming back

I’ll be coming back 'cause there are

Heroes and thieves at my door

I can’t seem to tell them apart anymore

Just when I’ve figured it out

Oh, darling it’s you, darling it’s you

Well, darling it’s you I’m without
