NAME:

Something Just Like This

I've been reading books of old

the legends and the myths

Achilles and his gold

Hercules and his gifts

Spiderman's control

and batman with his fists

And clearly I don’t see myself upon that list

She said: Where’d you wanna go?

How much do you wanna risk?

I'm not looking for somebody

With some superhuman gifts

add superhero

add fairytale bliss

just something i can turn to

Somebody I can kiss

i want something just like this

doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Oh I want something just like this

doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Oh I want something just like this

i want something just like this

I've been reading books of old

the legends and the myths

The testaments they told

the moon and its eclipse

And Superman unrolls

A suit before he lifts

But I'm not the kind of person that it fits

She said: Where’d you wanna go?

How much do you wanna risk?

I'm not looking for somebody

With some superhuman gifts

add superhero

add fairytale bliss

just something i can turn to

Somebody I can miss

i want something just like this

i want something just like this

Oh I want something just like this

doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

i want something just like this

doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

doo-doo-doo, doo-doo

doo-doo-doo, doo-doo-doo

Where’d you wanna go?

How much do you wanna risk?

I'm not looking for somebody

With some superhuman gifts

add superhero

add fairytale bliss

just something i can turn to

Somebody I can kiss

i want something just like this

Oh I want something just like this

Oh I want something just like this

Oh I want something just like this
