Zack Knight Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I m like a Superman baby
I m high in the clouds
Nothing can stop me now
When I hear that call, I come flying to the rescue
But something always pulls me down
And outta nowhere
But it happens
Cause when you re near, I can't breathe
Something is pulling me closer to you
I m so defense less when you re next to me
You re the only weakness that I only gotta need
No matter what I do I can't seem to fight it
Baby you know it goes without denial
Your love is like my kryptonite
Something deep inside
Your love is like my kryptonite
A feeling that I can't hide
Cause I can't breathe
My heart won't beat
Then I can't feel my own body
Let me go before I die
Girl your love is like my.
I see you staring right at me with those bright green eyes telling me "I need you tonight"
I ve got this voices in my head, telling me to walk away, but I can't get to see your face
And outta nowhere
But it happens
And I don't know what to do
Cause when you re near, I can't breathe
Something is pulling me closer to you
I m so defense less when you re next to me
You re the only weakness that I only gotta need
No matter what I do I can't seem to fight it
Baby you know it goes without denial
Your love is like my kryptonite
Something deep inside
Your love is like my kryptonite
A feeling that I can't hide
Cause I can't breathe
My heart won't beat
Then I can't feel my own body
Let me go before I die
Girl your love is like my.
I can't I ve been feeling that I ve been locked up
And you ve thrown away the key
Girl I m telling you enough is enough
It's like you ve got a hold of me
But when power comes with great responsibility
And it's never gonna work between you and me
I can't sleep, can't eat, don't have the energy
Just look what you re doing to me
Girl your love is like my kryptonite
Something deep inside
Your love is like my kryptonite
A feeling that I can't hide
Cause I can't breathe
My heart won't beat
Then I can't feel my own body
Let me go before I die
Girl your love is like my.

Woah Oh Oh
An excited vocalization indicating a change in tone for the upcoming lyrics
I m like a Superman baby
I feel invincible and strong like a superhero
I m high in the clouds
I feel above everything else and like nothing can bring me down
Nothing can stop me now
I feel empowered to take on whatever comes my way
When I hear that call, I come flying to the rescue
I am always ready and willing to help someone in need
But something always pulls me down
I always seem to encounter some obstacle or setback despite my best efforts
And outta nowhere
Unexpectedly
But it happens
Although I do my best to avoid it, sometimes things go wrong
And I don't know what to do
I feel lost and uncertain about how to proceed
Cause when you re near, I can't breathe
Being around you takes my breath away and makes me feel overwhelmed
Something is pulling me closer to you
I feel an irresistible attraction to you
I m so defense less when you re next to me
I feel vulnerable and powerless around you
You re the only weakness that I only gotta need
I am willing to succumb to this weakness because I believe I need you
No matter what I do I can't seem to fight it
Despite my best efforts, I cannot resist my feelings for you
Baby you know it goes without denial
You know how I feel about you and I cannot deny it any longer
Your love is like my kryptonite
Your love is my weakness, just like kryptonite weakens Superman
Something deep inside
This feeling is not a surface-level emotion, it is deeply ingrained in me
A feeling that I can't hide
I cannot keep my feelings for you hidden
Cause I can't breathe
My attraction to you makes me feel breathless and overwhelmed
My heart won't beat
Thoughts of you make my heart skip a beat or race faster
Then I can't feel my own body
My attraction to you seems to take over my entire being
Let me go before I die
My feelings for you are so intense, they feel like they will be the end of me if I can't let them go
I see you staring right at me with those bright green eyes telling me "I need you tonight"
Your gaze and words are a clear indication of your attraction to me, and it is tempting me to give in to my feelings for you
I ve got this voices in my head, telling me to walk away, but I can't get to see your face
Despite my own internal warnings, I cannot resist the strong pull of my attraction to you
I can't I ve been feeling that I ve been locked up
My feelings for you are making me feel trapped and unable to move on
And you ve thrown away the key
You are the cause of my inability to move past my feelings
Girl I m telling you enough is enough
I need to break free from this stronghold that you have on me
It's like you ve got a hold of me
Your influence over me is so strong, it feels like you have me in a tight grip
But when power comes with great responsibility
Being powerful or influential also means having to take responsibility for one's actions
And it's never gonna work between you and me
Our attraction to each other is not enough to sustain a lasting relationship, and we need to let it go
I can't sleep, can't eat, don't have the energy
My attraction to you is taking such an emotional toll on me that I cannot function properly
Just look what you re doing to me
You are having a huge impact on my emotional and physical state, and it is not healthy for me to continue feeling this way
