Waiting for Superman

She's watching the taxi driver, he pulls away

She's been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days

She says, yeah, he's still coming just a little bit late

He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape

She's just watching the clouds roll by

And they spell her name, like Lois Lane

And she smiles

Oh, the way she smiles

She's talking to angels, counting the stars

Making a wish on a passing car

She's dancing with strangers, falling apart

Waiting for Superman to pick her up in his arms

In his arms

Waiting for Superman

She's out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse

Nothing's making sense

She's been chasing an answer, a sign lost in the abyss

This metropolis

She says, yeah, he's still coming just a little bit late

He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day

She says, if life was a movie then it wouldn't end like this

Left without a kiss

Still she smiles

Oh, the way she smiles

She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars

Making a wish on a passing car

She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart

Waiting for Superman to pick her up in his arms

In his arms

She's waiting for Superman

To lift her up and take her anywhere

Show her love climbing through the air

Save her now before it's too late tonight

Oh, like the speed of light

And she smiles

She's talking to angels, she's counting the stars

Making a wish on a passing car

She's dancing with strangers, she's falling apart

Waiting for Superman to pick her up in his arms

In his arms

She's waiting for Superman

To lift her up and take her anywhere

Show her love climbing through the air

Save her now before it's too late tonight

She's waiting for Superman
