We all can dream of blazing glories
But all I dream of now is you and your blue eyes
It’s strange to think how we can feel like we don’t live our own lives
I wasn’t sure about my own but
Now I’m feeling fine

Your video game books
They might get me funny looks
But staff sergeant Max Mayhem gets me hot
And I’m starting to see
Not just what you want from me
But what you wanna get from what you got

Now what do you think you’re gonna be?
You think you’ll leave some kind of lasting mark
But with infinite tomorrows
I know this isn’t fair
No one gets remembered but right now I just don’t care

Your video game books
They might get me funny looks
But staff sergeant Max Mayhem gets me hot
And I’m starting to see
Not just what you want from me
But what you wanna get from what you got

I wish our lives were so much simpler
And I hope you get to have your moment in the fight
But no one ever gets to be quite who they wanna be
And you wanted to matter
Boy, well, you matter to me

Your video game books
Might get me funny looks
But staff sergeant Max Mayhem gets me hot
And I’m starting to see
Not just what you want from me
But what you wanna get from what you got

There’s not a lot
Of amputee heroes in history
But I’ve got one sitting right in front of me
