Someone To Fall back On - Jason Robert Brown

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 don'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 comedies
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 back
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'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'll be the one you need
I'll be someone to fall back on
