You saw me on a vast unconquerable frontier
You heard my voice in desperation drawing you near
Might this be your chance to meet your destiny?
To save someone deep in the throes of need

But my song was not directed at you
I know these myths are never true

I'm through with saviors who are mistaken
That I am helpless, that I need saving
And neither am I a lovely siren
My only purpose your temptation

Still it was easy to lure me to your land
I love the promise of a future unplanned
When fog no longer shrouded me you realized
Your reflection never shone in my eyes

The stars never twinkled so bright
But I was still whole and wholly alone that night

I am not a diversion from your hero’s journey
I have my own monsters to slay
Not a pretty toy to add to your collection
I have my own princess to save

I am home again
Not here to be rescued
That is not what I said yes to

What I tried to say was
Walk beside me or walk awayYou saw me on a vast unconquerable frontier
