Story Behind The Song
I wrote this one for my husband, an ordinary kind of guy who is a real superhero when it matters. We keep the cape in the trunk of the car...
Song Description
A slow, sexy, jazz-infused exploration of falling in love with a powerful person. The song moves through a cascade of intense emotions--love, lust, sensuality, release from inhibition--as well as the irony of having power over someone who is powerful.

Verse 1
He’s a man of steel
Every time he looks at me
I know he sees right through me.
Would he want to crush me?
Would he want to make me bleed?
Ah no, he handles me like glass.
Chorus
And I’m free falling, I’m falling hard and fast and free.
Free falling, there’s no resistance left in me.
Verse 2
Fire cannot burn him,
Bullets cannot pierce his skin.
Ah, but I cut right through him.
Ooh, I want to touch him,
Ooh I want to take him down,
Within a moment of his life.
Chorus
And I’m free falling, I’m falling hard and fast and free.
Free falling, at terminal velocity.
Bridge
I am a woman made of flesh and bone,
I’ve got powers of my own
Love that leaves you weak with wonder
Stirs you up and pulls you under
Melts you down and tempers you again.
Verse 3
Anger does not move him
Temptation does not force his hand
When I call he comes right to me.
Softer than a whisper,
Sweeter than a clear blue sky
He makes me feel like I could fly.
Chorus and Outro
And I’m free falling, I’m falling hard and fast and free.
Free falling, no power on earth can rescue me,
Free falling, I’m falling hard and fast and free
Free falling, no man of steel can stop me now!
