Hold on tight,

Hold on tight I'm coming baby

There's no need to run and hide

It's a trick of light

Flickering in distant shadows

Cast in complicated times

But there's a man here

Who's not some crazed crusader hiding in the crowd

Who'll be the one to save you when there's no more superheroes around

I don't like heights

I got no cape upon my back

And I'm sure these pants don't fit too tight

And there's no disguise

To hide my face beneath a mask

So you can look me right straight in the eyes.

So go on, I’ll search the darkest corners of this town

And be the one to save you when there’s no more superheroes around.

Well I'll keep my motor running For when your backs against the wall

And I'll keep my eyes up to the sky Just in case you ever call

I know you’re not the kind of girl to come crying save me please.

But I can see you hanging on the edge of some disastrous possibilities

So when the earth starts quaking

And the room starts shaking

And the ground starts breaking underneath your feet. 

Evil’s on the rise And I know your terrified

Because you’re headed for catastrophe

I know it seems lately

Things have been crazy

But I’ll help you land safely on your feet…your own two feet.

So hold on tight,

Hold on tight I’m coming baby

Though it might be suicide.

I’m no white knight

And I’m might be late into the battle

But it’s on the metro bus I ride

So hold on And surf this silver lining when you're down

Cause I'll be the one to save you when there's no more superheroes around

I'll be the one to save you when there's no more superheroes around
