Run, My Hero, Run

A man, in a suit, preach me a word

Preach to me when I’m down

And I’ll never forget it again

And again, I heard you cry

But I couldn’t do a thing

I was having a smoke outside

Do you always wear meekness around your neck?

Cause even when you fight, there’s kindness in your eyes

You can only do what is right, while I mess up time after time

Run, my hero, run, as if I got lost

Are those blisters from the hot sand

Or the thought of never seeing my face again?

A man in shorts, peel me an orange

Out in the backyard

And I will never forget

Draw me a line, I can only go so far

The desire to go is mine

But, let’s face it: I’m not that wise

The day will come around and take a part of me away

Not a single man will stay

When you’re gone, the things you taught me once

Will be printed in my mind, wherever I go I’ll be fine

Run, my hero, run, as if I got lost

Are those blisters from the hot sand

Or the thought of never seeing my face again?
