Lyrics
Superman
I broke a glass into my hand
Walked on coals and walked on water
I came out safe
But I should have known
I?m watching the skies
I?m watching alone
Watched you go down and didn?t care
Saw you drown
I wouldn?t save you
I didn?t know what I know now
Or what I could?ve done
[chorus]
What if I were superman?
On the edge of my bed
But sat on my hands?
What if I were superman?
What if I didn't jump high?
Wouldn't even try?
They couldn?t touch me ? don?t know why
They fell behind, I passed them by
If I had known what I know now
Or what I could?ve done
Question ? would I have saved you?
[chorus]
What if I were superman?
On the edge of my bed
But sat on my hands?
What if I were superman?
What if I didn't jump high
Wouldn't even try?
What if I were superman?
[bridge]
How can I accept my fate?
Watching the world turn over
The way it does.
Seems sometimes I?m going gray
Am I fading away?
[chorus]
What if I were superman?
On the edge of my bed
But sat on my hands?
What if I were superman?
Didn?t jump high
Wouldn?t even try
What if I were superman?
On the edge of my bed
Never gonna die?
Never been alive?.
What if I were...
