Superman
Jamie Knowles Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When darkness is collapsing, And crashing to the ground,
I'll be there to save you, When there's no one else around.
When tragedy hangs heavy, and you you have lost your sight,
Look a little harder, and I'll save you with my might.
I want to be your superman,
The one whos's there to hold your hand,
I want to be your superman,
The one who's there to understand,
When the sun don't seem to shine,
I'll be right here by your side.
Because I want to be, your superman
They all keep on talking, You know how word gets around.
I guess it doesn't matter, I'll face the trouble down.
I'll stop the speeding bullets, and catch you when you fall,
Having you here for a moment is better than not having you at all

I want to be your superman,
The one whos's there to hold your hand,
I want to be your superman,
The one who's there to understand,
When the sun don't seem to shine,
I'll be right here by your side,
Because I want to be, your superman
I want to be your superman,
The one whos's there to hold your hand,
I want to be your superman,
The one who's there to understand,
When the sun don't seem to shine,
I'll be right here by your side.




Because I want to be, your superman.
Because I want to be, your superman.
