You can be my hero by not lettin' me down
Not lettin' me down again and bein' 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 runnin' out of time

I don’t wanna die
I love your eyes
They show me above all
Show me I’m lovable

On goes the battle
(Burn every book)
Rages the war
(Punch every friend)
Casualties of the weekday
(We’ll stay here)
The figures soar
(While they ascend)

Our past the General
(If this is it)
He stands on the line
(If it’s really the end)
His body a spiral
(Let’s commit sins)
It's all in mind
(And collect sand)

You can be my hero by not lettin' me down
Not lettin' me down again and bein' around

This town is a great place
(Take the mic)
I love you at night
(Get upfront)
When it’s darker we’re stronger
(Shout at kids)
Gettin' ready to fight
(Like it hurts)

For now it’s the gray slates
(Tell your life)
And one side of noise
(Don’t pretend)
The banks are circlin' again
(Lie to yourself)
I don’t wanna wear clothes
(Begin again)

You can be my hero by not lettin' me down
Not lettin' me down again and bein' 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 runnin' out of time

I don’t wanna die
I love your eyes
They show me above all
Show me I’m lovable
