Someone to Fall Back On - David Burnham

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 coal

I won't walk on water

I am no prince

I am no saint

I am not anyone's wildest dreams

But I will stand behind

And be someone to fall back on

Some comedy

Your bruised and beaten down

But I'm the one

Who's looking for a favor

Still honestly

You don't believe me

But the things I had

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

You'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

I will be

The one you need

To fall back on
