Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I'm no Superman, I can't take your hand
And fly you anywhere you want to go, yeah
I can't read your mind like a billboard sign
And tell you everything you want to hear
But I'll be your hero
I, I could be everything you need
If you're the one for me
Like gravity, I'll be unstoppable
I, yeah, I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul
But if you're the one for me
Then I'll be your hero
(Could you be the one?
Could you be the one?
Could you be the one for me?)
Then I'll be your hero
(Could you be the one?
Could you be the one?
Could you be the one for me?)
Then I'll be your hero
Searching high and low, trying every road
But if I see your face, I will know, yeah
I put my trust to faith
That you will come my way
And if it's right, it's undeniable, yeah
I'll be your hero
I, I could be everything you need
If you're the one for me
Like gravity, I'll be unstoppable
I, yeah, I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul
But if you're the one for me
Then I'll be your hero
(Could you be the one?
Could you be the one?
Could you be the one for me?)
I'll be your hero
(Could you be the one?
Could you be the one?
Could you be the one for me?)
I'll be your hero
So incredible, some kind of miracle
That when it's meant to be, I'll become a hero, oh
So I'll wait, wait, wait, wait for you
Yeah, I'll be your hero
I, I could be everything you need
If you're the one for me
Like gravity, I'll be unstoppable
I, yeah, I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul
But if you're the one for me
Then I'll be your hero
(Could you be the one?
Could you be the one?
Could you be the one for me?)
Then I'll be your hero
(Could you be the one?
Could you be the one?
Could you be the one for me?)
Then I'll be your hero
And fly you anywhere you want to go, yeah
I can't read your mind like a billboard sign
And tell you everything you want to hear
But I'll be your hero
I, I could be everything you need
If you're the one for me
Like gravity, I'll be unstoppable
I, yeah, I believe in destiny
I may be an ordinary guy with heart and soul
But if you're the one for me
Then I'll be your hero
(Could you be the one?
Could you be the one?
Could you be the one for me?)
Then I'll be your hero
(Could you be the one?
Could you be the one?

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
