Someone To Fall Back On

I'll never be

A knight in armor

With a sword in hand,

Or a kamikaze fighter

Dont count on me

To storm the barricades

And take a stand,

Or hold my ground;

You'll never see

Any scars or wounds

I dont walk on coals,

I wont walk on water

I am no prince,

I am no saint,

I am not anyones wildest dream,

But I will stand behind

And be someone to fall back on.

Some comedy

You're bruised and beaten down

And Im the one

Whos looking for a favor.

Still, honestly,

You dont believe me

But the things I have

Are the things you need.

You look at me

Like I dont make sense,

Like a waste of time,

Like it serves no purpose

I am no prince,

I am no saint,

And if thats what you believe you need,

Youre wrong - you dont need much,

You need someone to fall back on...

And I'll be that:

I'll take your side.

If Im the only one,

Im used to that.

I've been alone,

Id rather be

The half of us,

The least of you,

The best of me.

And I will be

i'll be Your prince,

I'll be your saint,

I will go crashing through fences

In your name. I will, I swear

I'll be someone to fall back on!

I'll be the one who waits,

And for as long as youll let me,

I will be the one you need.

I'll be someone to fall back on

i'll be someone to fall back on

one to fall back on
