Someone to fall back on

So I have fallen in love once again with another song. This time it's "Someone to Fall Back On" by Jason Robert Brown. This is the only video that i could find of him singing it. There are a ton of covers all over You Tube but I love his voice. I've fallen in love with it because this is the type of guy I want. I want someone who I can fall back on when days get hard but also someone one who can fall back on me. The lyrics are below. Hopefully my friends find it as good of a song as I find it!


Someone To Fall Back On

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 won’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 comedy -
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 that:
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 will 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’ll let me,
I will be the one you need.
I’ll be someone to fall back on:
Your prince,
Your saint,
The one you believe you need
I’ll be - I’ll be
Someone to fall back on.


P.S. I first heard it as Aly Michalka's version from the movie Bandslam. She also does a good version but I like Jason singing it better. :) He also has some other great songs! You can find out more about him at http://www.jasonrobertbrown.com/

I really hope that someday I can find that wonderful boy. I know that he is out there and i just have to be patient.
