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;
Youll 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 -
Youre 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 Ill be that:
Ill take your side.
If Im the only one,

Im used to that.
Ive 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,
Ill be your saint,

I will go crashing through fences
In your name. I will, I swear -
Ill be someone to fall back on!

Ill be the one who waits,
And for as long as youll let me,
I will be the one you need.

Ill be someone to fall back on
ill be someone to fall back on
one to fall back on...
