The lone ranger on his white steed
Is now a stranger on the run
When he was young, his heart was bursting
Danger was only just for fun
But now this savior complex
It doesn't seem to help
And for a hero once exalted
Is now a stranger to himself
There comes a time for our hero to die
To be born again in another land
Yeah, someone else, another pilgrim's quest
Another crucible, another funeral
I don't wanna be the hero in my story anymore
And I don't wanna be the hero in yours
I just wanna be around to watch the Sun go down
I just wanna watch the painted clouds pass along this desert town
Till the stars come out
In my twenties, I was flying
Decades in the tempest throws
I'm not the hero that you need now
I'm not the hero that I know
There comes a time for our hero to die
To be born again in another land
Yeah, someone else, another pilgrim's quest
Another crucible, another funeral
I don't wanna be the hero in my story anymore
And I don't wanna be the hero in yours
I just wanna be around to watch the Sun go down
I just wanna watch the painted clouds pass along this desert town
Till the stars come out
I don't wanna be the hero in my story anymore
And I don't wanna be the hero in yours
I just wanna be around to watch the Sun go down
I just wanna watch the painted clouds pass along this desert town
Till the stars come out
