There's something about you I wanna rescue I don't even know you So what does that mean Maybe I'm cynical I'm painfully logical You're tragic and beautiful And that's good enough for me You're looking for a hero, but it's just my old tattoo Tonight I swear I'd sell my soul to be a hero for you Who's gonna save you When the stars fall from your sky And who's gonna pull you in When the tide gets too high Who's gonna hold you When you turn out the lights I won't lie I wish that I Could be your superman tonight If somebody sent you An angel to save you What would you tell him to turn him away That your heart don't break That your lips don't kiss That life is just a lie That heaven don't exist? Who's gonna save you When the stars fall from your sky And who's gonna pull you in When the tide gets too high Who's gonna hold you When you turn out the lights I won't lie I wish that I Could be your superman tonight Who's gonna fix you The next time you break down Stranded alone by the side of the road It's your baggage that's dragging you down Don't look back Let it go Oh, oh Who's gonna save you When the stars fall from your sky And who's gonna pull you in When the tide gets too high Who's gonna hold you When you turn out the lights I won't lie I wish that I Was that superman Who's gonna save you When the stars fall from your sky And who's gonna pull you in When the tide gets too high Who's gonna hold you When you turn out the lights I won't lie I wish that I Could be your superman tonight Woah, woah, woah oh Woah, woah, woah oh Woah, woah, woah oh Woah, woah, woah oh
