Someone To Fall Back On

I’ll never be
A knight in armor
With a sword in hand
Or a Kamikaze fighter;
Don’t count on me
To storm the barricades
And take a stand
Or hold my ground;
You’ll never see
Any scars or wounds
I don’t walk on coals
I won’t walk on water

I am no prince
I am no saint
I am not anyone’s wildest dreams
But I can stand behind
And be someone to fall back on

Some comedy
You’re bruised and beaten down
And I’m the one
Who’s looking for a favor
Still, honestly
You don’t believe me
But the things I have
Are the things you need
You look at me
Like I don’t make sense
Like a waste of time
Like it serves no purpose

I am no prince
I am no saint
And if that’s what you believe you need
You’re wrong - you don’t need much
You need someone to fall back on

And I’ll be that
I’ll take your side
If I’m the only one
I’m used to that
I’ve been alone
I’d 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 you’ll let me
I will be the one you need
I’ll be someone to fall back on
