Run, My Hero, Run

A man, in a suit, preach me a word
Preach to me when I’m down
And I’ll never forget it again
And again, I heard you cry
But I couldn’t do a thing
I was having a smoke outside

Do you always wear meekness around your neck?
Cause even when you fight, there’s kindness in your eyes
You can only do what is right, while I mess up time after time
Run, my hero, run, as if I got lost
Are those blisters from the hot sand
Or the thought of never seeing my face again?

A man in shorts, peel me an orange
Out in the backyard
And I will never forget
Draw me a line, I can only go so far
The desire to go is mine
But, let’s face it: I’m not that wise

The day will come around and take a part of me away
Not a single man will stay
When you’re gone, the things you taught me once
Will be printed in my mind, wherever I go I’ll be fine
Run, my hero, run, as if I got lost
Are those blisters from the hot sand
Or the thought of never seeing my face again?
