I'm basically comparing the disappointment of meeting someone famous to someone you've had a crush on for a long time because they're just not what you'd thought they would be...and some other stuff thrown in. I have a full band version of this, I think this version is the way to go.
lyrics
You were a legend in my mind
A treasure that i never stopped looking for
And after lifetimes of hopes and unsanctifed dreams
I finally met you
Oh no
Never meet your heroes
Keep them in your mind
It’s fine to dream and maybe in time
Things will be drawn as fate designed
I should have keep the light off
I sould have never saw your face again
Turn around and ran away from you
How was I to know?
Oh no
Never meet your heroes
Keep them in your mind
It’s fine to dream and maybe in time
Things will be drawn as fate designed
I’ve given up a long time ago
I’ve given up on nursery rhymes
I’ve given up on the perfect one
I’ve given up I’m just biding time
I’ve thrown away all the memories
Even the ones that bring me joy
I think it’s for the best you see
Raise a toast for the concept of you and me
Never meet your heroes
Keep them in your mind
It’s fine to dream and maybe in time
Things will be drawn as fate designed
