Take a step and I'll take the next one with you
But it's not like you're still leading
Cause your footprints, they like to beg to differ
You find out that the coast still isn't clear
But it's not like I'm leaving
Cause if I try, try, I try to find the answers
And the moment hits like a wave
It tears apart the hull and leaves the crew cast ashore
Without your anchor, we'll drift away
And sail into the open seas with no way to know where we're going
Cause I'm the wheel and you're my compass
We won't be needing that north star anymore
If the gloomy depths of the sea is love then drown me out
And break my lungs
Take a risk and I'll surely take one with you
But can you foresee the future
If so the please fill me in
I didn't know I'd be fighting a fight with my own self while you're there screaming
"Will someone win!?"
Then my conscience hits me in the face
I shut him out and run with you into the unknown
But damn my smoking, it's slowed my pace
Now I'm face to face with evil, now go run home
Cause you're distressed and I'm your hero
You won't have to protect yourself anymore
With a wave of my cape and a blink of my eye I'll make this world slow down
So you can build your own
When desperate times come, then desperate acts will follow
No kind of measurement could have sized me up for this
The doors have opened and I'm right here waiting
I've seen you out there anticipating
My next move, what will it be?
The summer's over and the fall is starting
Is this the chapter of our graceful parting?
Or the beginning of eternity?
You've got the knife and I'm your victim
It's up to you to spare my life and let me go
But if you are so inclined, I'll gladly let my soul soul pour out
So you can see that your own is at home
