lyrics

I wanna be a superhero star
The one you can count on to save the day
And take you away from the siren alarms
Safe from the harm of the loveless nights in free fall
I won't let you slip away

I wanna be a modern new age man
And Sing to your heart in a summer song
What could go wrong
That's not already screwed
Between me and you, I'd swim through oceans on the moon
Only to be with you

Could be I've watched too many movies
Not every story line rings true
We may not ride off into the sunset
But I'm willing to try just for you
Only you
Only you

I won't let you slip away
But I'm willing to try just for you
Ohh ooh
Be my superhero love

Maybe I've lost the plot completely
Could be I'm blinded by these blues
After all I'm just ordinary
Not a fictional slant on the truth

I wanna be your superhero star
That clings to the hope love can win the day
And maybe to say run away with me
We'll make it you see
We'll be safe from the harm of those loveless nights in free fall

I won't let you slip away
In free fall

Track 1 hooked me out of the gate, and it's an 11-way tie for 2nd-favourite. The lyrics, instrumentation, arrangement, dynamics, performance and production are excellent throughout. Others have used the word "fresh" to describe Tamar's music, and I agree. I'm never sure what will happen next and that's what makes it so exciting! tommcnally
