Achilles, just smile and wave for the crowd
Be the hero they want you to be
A soldier, a champion, a prince to be king,
That's the only thing they'll ever see
You've got the weight of a crown on your head,
You've got the blood of the gods in your veins
I don't have much except a place in my bed
And a handful of pills for the pain

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like
If we weren't eight years at war
Would you and I wander somewhere with clear skies
And leave behind the destiny the gods have got in store for you
What am I supposed to do? Do I have a part to play?
Do I sit on the side and stay out of your way
Beyond the wide dark seas, way beyond the tragedies
Achilles, I would rather be somewhere quiet
We could dream of better days
When we were safe, before it all changed

Achilles, you're running as fast as you can
Like you're trying to outrun the fates
But they've got you by the heel
And you're still just a man
And maybe it was always too late
Achilles, just stay here for one minute longer
Let me clean the ash from your hair
The walls of the city won't get any stronger
If you give me a moment to care for you

And the heroes of old, with their spoils and their gold
Can keep all the laurels, I've got your hand to hold
And the legends and stories of honor and glory
Can wait till the morning, I'm busy adoring you
Achilles, just you,
The boy that I met long ago
With a future we didn't yet know
And I wish that it was enough for you
For me to just be in love with you
I wish you'd let me look after you,
I wish that you didn't have to prove
To everyone else, but mostly to yourself,
That you're all they say that you are
That you're the hero they need you to be
You don't have to prove anything to me,
But I wish that you would just talk to me
You never talk to me about anything

You'll come home late tonight
I'll lie and say I'm alright
And try to ignore the smell of blood
And so I pray tonight, as I lie awake
That with dawn's rosy light
We'll sail away and they can fight their own wars
But the ships are burning on the shores
Our stories written in the stars, so I'll stare through a telescope
and just hope I can read an ending
That's better than pretending
We're not living and loving on borrowed time
You might be making history,
But the first time that you kissed me
Is the day on repeat in my mind
That was our golden age, back when we were safe
Before you changed

I'm not a hero, but I'm still right here, So just stay with me for ten minutes more
I'd go on any odyssey if it meant I got to see you again after the war
Like Sisyphus rolling his boulder, I'd shoulder the weight of loving you every day
And I would pull an Icarus and build some wings to carry us somewhere safe, far away
But the hill's gotten steeper and I miss when we were wild and fearless and young
And now that I'm burning, the lesson I'm learning is maybe you were the sun
And the truth hits me like lightning, dropped down from Olympus above
Maybe you're a bomb,
and you're not meant to be loved
