Helios
Your Name Here Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Please give me a moment
I think I always knew
Just a tiny moment
Left for me and you
Just give me an answer
What's a guy to do
When the only thing he loves
Becomes somebody new

I don't think that I'm the one
To save you from your setting sun
But when it all is said and done
I will be your Helios
And I will fly for you
I will fly for you

So tell me you can trust me or try to prove me wrong
Leave me in the shadows or show me I belong
Batten down the hatches or open up the door
We always wanna be the things we've never been before

Now I don't think that I'm the one
To save you from your setting sun
But when it all is said and done
I will be your Helios
And I will fly for you
Until the earth is black and blue

And I will march forever just to lead you toward the light
And if we never go together its alright, its alright
Just take a picture, paint it black and call it love
Now I don't think I'll ever be enough

I don't think that I'm the one




To save you from your setting sun
But when it all is said and done
I will be your Phaethon
And I would die for you
I will die for you
