Story Behind The Song
I am this man. Living in a world where image and class are priority #1, I don't really stand out with my modest stature and midwestern attributes. I wanted to show women that there are nice, down-to-earth men out there that are willing to lay everything on the line for them.
Song Description
A modest man looks to prove his affection for the woman that he loves. He admits he is not a prince cut straight from the fairy tales that women dream about, but poses the argument that his love is stronger and more real than any other. He vows to do whatever it takes to show her the love that she deserves.

Lyrics
All this time you spent
Waiting for your prince
To no avail
You start to think
There's no such thing
As fairy tales
Well I may not have the shining armor
I'm just your average man
But I swear I'll love you,
Baby I can love you like nobody can
So take one look at me
I know what you see
No sword, no shield
But in these modest arms
There's something real
[repeat chorus]
And I will not rest
Not 'til you've seen
'Til you've got reason to believe
The heart from my chest
Out on my sleeve
Is enough to sweep you off your feet
[repeat chorus]
