Superman Lyrics
[Intro]
One, two, three, go
[Verse 1]
Hmm, now lately I've been livin' in a world that's black and white
Ever since you left all the colors just drained out of my life
And I've been goin' through the motions
I can feel myself, slippin' away, slippin' away
I keep thinking 'bout that summer, South Daytona Beach
We never left the bed, no, we never got no sleep
And I've been lookin' back and thinking 'bout, the way it was
The way we were, we were reckless, so reckless
[Chorus]
When I was with you, baby, I was Superman
Yeah, we were sky high, there was nothing better
When I was with you, grabbin' that live wire
We were Johnny and June in a "Ring of Fire"
Now you're caught up in my head like a melody
Of the sweetest summer song that we used to sing
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
When I was with you (When I was with you)
[Verse 2]
On some starry summer nights, I still wonder where you are
Are you still breakin' all the hearts of all the boys that play guitar?
And just goin' through the motions of emotions
Been slippin' away, slippin' away
Hmm, but even with all that, girl, I'd still trade a few heartbeats
For one more sleepless night, tangled up between your sheets
And I've been lookin' back and thinking 'bout the way it was
The way we were and those hundred mile an hour curves
[Chorus]
When I was with you, baby, I was Superman
Yeah, we were sky high, there was nothing better
When I was with you, grabbin' that live wire (Live wire)
We were Johnny and June in a "Ring of Fire"
Now you're caught up in my head like a melody
Of the sweetest summer song that we used to sing
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
When I was with you (When I was with you)
[Post-Chorus]
Oh
When I was with you
[Outro]
Oh, now you're caught up in my head like a melody
Of the sweetest summer song that we used to sing
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
When I was with you (When I was with you)
Hey, hey, hey
One, two, three, go
Hmm, now lately I've been livin' in a world that's black and white
Ever since you left all the colors just drained out of my life
And I've been goin' through the motions
I can feel myself, slippin' away, slippin' away
I keep thinking 'bout that summer, South Daytona Beach
We never left the bed, no, we never got no sleep
And I've been lookin' back and thinking 'bout, the way it was
The way we were, we were reckless, so reckless
When I was with you, baby, I was Superman
Yeah, we were sky high, there was nothing better
When I was with you, grabbin' that live wire
We were Johnny and June in a "Ring of Fire"
Now you're caught up in my head like a melody
Of the sweetest summer song that we used to sing
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
When I was with you (When I was with you)
On some starry summer nights, I still wonder where you are
Are you still breakin' all the hearts of all the boys that play guitar?
And just goin' through the motions of emotions
Been slippin' away, slippin' away
Hmm, but even with all that, girl, I'd still trade a few heartbeats
For one more sleepless night, tangled up between your sheets
And I've been lookin' back and thinking 'bout the way it was
The way we were and those hundred mile an hour curves
When I was with you, baby, I was Superman
Yeah, we were sky high, there was nothing better
When I was with you, grabbin' that live wire (Live wire)
We were Johnny and June in a "Ring of Fire"
Now you're caught up in my head like a melody
Of the sweetest summer song that we used to sing
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh
When I was with you (When I was with you)
Oh
When I was with you
Oh, now you're caught up in my head like a melody
Of the sweetest summer song that we used to sing
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
When I was with you (When I was with you)
Hey, hey, hey

Keith Urban knows just how invincible a good love can make you feel: like a superhero. "When I was with you, I was Superman," the country superstar confesses to an old flame. Urban teamed with hit country tunesmith Craig Wiseman and Captain Cuts, a Los Angeles-based songwriter and producer trio, to write "Superman," a funky, electronic track. The melody and guitar work is classic upbeat Urban with a 2020 polish. The singer co-produced the song with Captain Cuts members Ben Berger, Ryan McMahon and Ryan Rabin, who also play on the tune. A press release explains that Urban wrote "Superman" metaphorically, but with some specific places in mind. "I like when listeners can put their own story, their own faces and their own characters into the song," he says, "and this one to me, is definitely one of those songs.” Urban enlisted Andymation to help create the animation in the "Superman" music video.
