No Myth Lyrics

[Chorus]
What if I were Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff
, it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with


[Bridge]
Sometime from now you'll bow to pressure
Some things in life you cannot measure by degrees
I'm between the poles and the equator
Don't send no private investigator to find me please

'Less he speaks Chinese
And can dance like Astaire overseas
Okay

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
What if I was
So, what if I was
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with

[Chorus]
What if I was Romeo in black jeans
What if I was Heathcliff, it's no myth
Maybe she's just looking for
Someone to dance with

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Michael Penn say about "No Myth"?
Genius Answer

Michael Penn said in an interview with MadeMan.com

No Myth had to do with a serious relationship in my life that broke up, and I was just trying to figure out, ‘What the fuck was that?’ So this song was the beginning of me trying to actually figure that shit out in song.
