I think the meaning is pretty clear. This person got really burned in a previous relationship, and because of this is unable to love and show care in his present one, even though he so badly wants to. It's lovely song, and very sad. You can really feel how defeated and frustrated he is with himself.
Some people say to me
They say I don't have a clue
I'm gonna make them see
There's something special 'bout you
When you've got your arms around me
(oh when you've got your arms around me)
Oh baby
In the air your love surrounds me
(oh now I know you're)
Now I know you're my Superman
(you're amazing)
You're my wonderman (where you been)
Wherever I am (come and save me)
Oh my Superman (so amazing)
This ain't no make believe
This fantasy is for real
Ain't talking imagination (oh baby)
He sweeps me of my feet
When you've got your arms around me
(oh when you've got your arms around me)
Oh baby
In the air your love surrounds me
(oh now I know you're)
Now I know you're my Superman
(you're amazing)
You're my wonderman (where you been)
Wherever I am (come and save me)
Oh my Superman (so amazing)
(yeah, yeah)
Everything you do to me is supernatural
(supernatural)
I need you beside you
Need to be in your world
(be in your world)
Everything you do to me is supernatural
(come and save me boy)
I need you beside you
Need to be in your world
(come and save me boy)
Now I know you're my Superman
(you're amazing)
You're my wonderman (where you been)
Wherever I am (come and save me)
Oh my Superman (so amazing)
Now I know you're my Superman
(you're amazing)
You're my wonderman (where you been)
Wherever I am (come and save me)
Oh my Superman (so amazing)
(repeat to fade)
They say I don't have a clue
I'm gonna make them see
There's something special 'bout you
When you've got your arms around me
(oh when you've got your arms around me)
Oh baby
In the air your love surrounds me
(oh now I know you're)
Now I know you're my Superman
(you're amazing)
You're my wonderman (where you been)
Wherever I am (come and save me)
Oh my Superman (so amazing)
This ain't no make believe
This fantasy is for real
Ain't talking imagination (oh baby)
He sweeps me of my feet
When you've got your arms around me

Oh baby
In the air your love surrounds me
(oh now I know you're)
Now I know you're my Superman
(you're amazing)
You're my wonderman (where you been)
Wherever I am (come and save me)
Oh my Superman (so amazing)
(yeah, yeah)
Everything you do to me is supernatural
(supernatural)
I need you beside you
Need to be in your world
(be in your world)
Everything you do to me is supernatural
(come and save me boy)
I need you beside you
Need to be in your world
(come and save me boy)
Now I know you're my Superman
(you're amazing)
You're my wonderman (where you been)
Wherever I am (come and save me)
Oh my Superman (so amazing)
Now I know you're my Superman
(you're amazing)
You're my wonderman (where you been)
Wherever I am (come and save me)
Oh my Superman (so amazing)

This track is about is about questioning why the sky would choose to be blue if it had the choice to be anything else, “blue also meaning sad,” states frontman Aaron Pauley. “It's about comforting a loved one in a time of loss by telling them you feel blue, too.”

The man has pseudo-friends who constantly criticize his actions. They moralize him, "teach" him and advise him to make a significant change in his life, because the way he is and what he does is not what they say it should be. They may find his life lame or immoral. They hold themselves up as role models. The man replies that he will make his own choices and decisions and he does not agree to unconditionally make himself under the influence of questionable quality advice. He justifies this by saying that there is always someone for whom he will be important, no matter what he does and no matter what he is. Although it is not said directly, I read it as meaning that he will always be important to himself in every way and he will always have his own support.
"Everyone is different and maybe that's a good thing, but you exceeded that mark 1000 times" - I remember very well how sad the words I once heard (from my peers and it was in negative context) at school made me feel.
