Strong hands, strong mind
Strong all the time
Straightforward and kind
Too simply defined
'Cause no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He's too noble and too blind

Be dark, be cold (so conflicted)
No hand to hold (heart constricted)
Dark Knight, bright soul (we're addicted)
No room here for the bold
'Cause no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He's too noble and too blind
We're all older now and we don't need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind

Hey, well so can I
Jet Blue or United Airlines

Reflected in his eyes
'Cause no one wants to know the man who stands for things we outgrow
He's too noble and too blind
We're all older now and we don't need someone to care about
The innocence we left behind
