[mngiraffe]

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 dream
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 me

and 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 let me
i will be the one you need
i'll be someone to fall back on
your prince
your saint
the one you believe you need
i'll be
i'll be
someone to fall back on

someone to fall back on
