Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see it in the way you would do
When no one else could ever get through
Holdin' back 'till I come around
Time and time again you wait for me to come in
And did you really look my way?
'Cause no one could of seen this comin'
I would never let you down
If I was runnin' backwards in full time

I can and I will
And you'll see your hero come runnin'
Over and over tonight

And I do wanna love you
If you see me runnin' back
And I do wanna try
Because if fallin' for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time

Me, I'm used to being tired and bloody
But you believed that I could be somebody
You put your world on hold for me
Gave away to follow failure through the fire
I need you to know I will
Believe me girl, I'm so tired of runnin'
I just wanna hold your hand
Stare at you like you've got everything I need

And I can so I will
And you'll see your hero come runnin'
Over and over tonight

And I do wanna love you
If you see me runnin' back
And I do wanna try
Because if fallin' for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time

And what if I never said to you I was dynamite?
(Dynamite)
And what if I never told you I'm afraid to cry?
(I wanna cry)
What if I never let you down inside?
I'm sorry for the nights I can't remember
What if I never said to you I would try?

And I do wanna love you
If you see me runnin' back
And I do wanna try
Because if fallin' for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time

Yeah,
And I do wanna love you
(I wanna love you)
And I do wanna try
(I wanna try)
Because if falling for you girl is crazy
Then I'm going out of my mind




So hold back your tears this time, yeah
So hold back your tears this time.

Verse 1:]
I see it in the way you would do
When no one else could ever get through
Holding back till I come around
Time and time again you wait for me to come in
And did you really look my way?
Cause no one could've seen this coming
I would never let you down
If I was running backwards in full time

[Bridge:]
So I can and I will and you’ll see your hero come running
Over and over tonight

And I do wanna love you
If you see me running back
And I do wanna try
Because if falling for you girl is crazy
Then I’m going out of my mind
So hold back your tears this time

Me, I’m used to being tired and bloody
But you believed that I could be somebody

Their best song ever

​@Bannock Cop as much as I understand what happened the girl also did consent several times over and over again to sleep with him. He landed himself in hot water by going after Toronto girls, she consented over text, she consented verbally, she consented by accepting a train ticket and walking herself to the train and getting on the train and by entering the hotel on her own all those play a huge role in consent. It was also mentioned that he did ask and explained what he liked and she also consented to that. Honestly, it's not abnormal for people to want to sleep around, people have hormones, everyone has done it. If anything the age and immaturity played a role in it. Otherwise someone else would've slept with him and called it a day. Moreso because he has a bit of a name in Canada and some money that someone wanted to destroy for him. His wife at least is still by his side.
