I can take your breath away
Even though I'm out of mine
And I can mean the world to you
And the universe in time
I can be your superman
But I cannot save myself
I can do this on my own
But I just might need your help
If I was slower than the speed of light
Would you wait for me?
And if my ragged cape fell off
Would you stay with me?
And if I could still make you smile
Would you stay? Would you stay with me?
I can move these mountains now
With my feet firmly on the ground
And I can lose myself in you
With my head up in the clouds
Now I'm no genie in any sense
And empty promises aren't right
But if you only had one wish
Then I would grant it here tonight
If I was slower than the speed of light
Would you wait for me?
And if my ragged cape fell off
Would you stay with me?
If I couldn't change the world
Would you promise me...
That if I could still make you smile
You would stay?
I can't keep a lie, I've got more weakness than kryptonite
But if I had to fight for you, I would
Begging for a gust of wind to breathe fresh air into these lungs
And make it real for me over, and over, and over again
If I was slower than the speed of light
Would you wait for me?
And if my ragged cape fell off
Would you stay with me?
If I couldn't change the world
Would you promise me...
That if I could still make you smile
You would stay? Would you stay with me?
