Lyrics

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
There's 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
'Til the stars come out

In my 20s I was flying
Decades in the tempest's throws
But 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
There's 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
'Til 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
'Til the stars come out
