You can be my hero, by not letting me down Not letting me down again, and being around You can be my hero, by crawling into the rut Crawling into the rut with me, and holding my chin up You fight like the night Weakness is my guide I'm walking a dark road I'm running out of time I don't want to die I love your eyes They show me above all Show me I'm loveable On goes the battle Rages the war Casualties of the week day The figures soar Our past The General He stands on the line His body a spiral Salt in his mind Burn every book, punch every friend, We'll stay here while they ascend, If this is it, if it's really the end Let's commit sins and collect sand You can be my hero, by not letting me down Not letting me down again, and being around This town is a great place I love you at night When it's darker we're stronger Getting ready to fight But for now it's the grey slates And one side of noise The banks are circling again I don't wanna to wear clothes Take a mic and get upfront Shout at kids like it hurts Tell your life, don't pretend Lie to yourself, begin again You can be my hero, by not letting me down Not letting me down again, and being around You can be my hero, by crawling into the rut Crawling into the rut with me, and holding my chin up You fight like the night Weakness is my guide My wrongs show me what's right We're running out of time I love your eyes They show me above all Show me I'm loveable So the captains fall As the grey light crashes down Our last stand defeated As the last hope is doused Laugh and carry on Skip into the flames In a blaze of coming home
