More Heart Than Me

This is a song by an Australian band called My Friend The Chocolate Cake. I was listening to it on my walk back from the library yesterday and apart from being a superb love song, it really struck me as an ode to a hero.

She comes every morning at least three times
I walk the dark side just for you
You know my fault lines all so well
Every look every word every thing I can imagine
With you I got the nerve for anything at all

By god I’m grateful for that’s how it be
She’s graceful, she’s forthright, she’s stronger than me
She’s a fighter, she’s headstrong, she’s got more heart than me

I change my flight path just for you
I copy strange behaviour if you want me to
So high up I may never land
So confused I don’t understand
With you I’ve got the nerve for anything at all

By god I’m grateful for that’s how it be
She’s graceful she’s forthright stronger than me
She’s a fighter, she’s a brainstorm, she’s got more heart than me

You hold me when I’m falling down
You help me float when I almost drown

I’ll even climb the highest climb
Head on straight right into the windstorm
I’ve got the nerve with you for anything at all

By god I’m grateful for that’s how it be
She’s graceful, she’s forthright, she’s stronger than me
By god I’m grateful for that’s how it be
She’s a fighter, she’s a brainstorm, she’s got more heart than me
She’s graceful, she’s forthright, she makes me look better than I really be
She’s a fighter, she’s a brainstorm, she’s got more heart than me
