Wonderful (It's Superman) Lyrics
I sing you this song
to let you see
whatever became of me
this summer I will wait under your cherry tree
just to hear "you're wonderful" from you
I sing you these words
so you can hear
I know what I am behind the ears
and if you could once just for once reappear
and let me hear "you're wonderful" from you
I fall, I crawl, to pull you up
I sleep for years to wake you up
all the world they can tell we're together, oh yeah
woah woah woah, it's superman
I stand from afar
blow clouds away
no L.A. traffic
just milky way
and yes, I will wait for the day that you say
"this is all wonderful", need to hear "wonderful" from you
I fall, I crawl, to pull you up
I sleep for years to wake you up
all the world they can tell we're together, oh yeah
woah woah woah, it's superman
start
yes, I can fly, I can fly yes yes
I can fly I can fly I can fly
Don't tell me now
I fall, I crawl, to pull you up
I sleep for years to wake you up
all the world they can tell we're together, oh yeah
I fall, I crawl, to pull you up
I sleep for years to wake you up
all the world they can tell we're together, oh yeah
woah woah woah
to let you see
whatever became of me
this summer I will wait under your cherry tree
just to hear "you're wonderful" from you
so you can hear
I know what I am behind the ears
and if you could once just for once reappear
and let me hear "you're wonderful" from you
I sleep for years to wake you up
all the world they can tell we're together, oh yeah
woah woah woah, it's superman
blow clouds away
no L.A. traffic
just milky way
and yes, I will wait for the day that you say
"this is all wonderful", need to hear "wonderful" from you
I sleep for years to wake you up
all the world they can tell we're together, oh yeah
yes, I can fly, I can fly yes yes
I can fly I can fly I can fly
Don't tell me now
I sleep for years to wake you up
all the world they can tell we're together, oh yeah
I sleep for years to wake you up
all the world they can tell we're together, oh yeah
woah woah woah

I typed the lyrics from listening to the song, so if anyone can correct me that'd be great. This song is stuck in my head a lot... I think it's about this girl who he really wants to win, but she's hard to get, and he's having to do a lot to get her. ;)
i agree. this song is about a guy wanting a girl really badly and he'll do anything to get to her. Though to get to her it seems like its only a feat that Superman can do.
I think your lyrics are really close, Punkmonkey. I posted a few minor corrections to what I think is the appropriate thread for fixing lyrics. Hopefully they'll be updated soon.
This is definitely a song about an eternally optimistic guy who's head over heels for a girl. I say optimistic because, from the way Andy sings the song, I think he's ultimately going to get her.
The line you have above "all the world that can tell me to get.... you" is actually, I think, supposed to be "all the world they can tell we're together, oh yeah". Which I think is the singer trying to tell the girl that everyone already knows they're in love, so once she figures it out everything will be wonderful. :)
Oh, and in my corrected lyrics I think he's saying "just to hear 'you're wonderful' from you"... most sites on the web don't have the "you're" in there, but I swear when I listen to the song I can hear it every time. I could be wrong, but I think it makes sense... he really, really wants this girl to tell him she thinks he's wonderful.
Great song - who hasn't felt this way? :)
I always felt like this song was about personal growth.
