lyrics

These years have flown by
like hummingbirds in the woods,
and we could fill a few rivers with the lessons that we’ve learned. We are the definition of “to have loved and lost” but we’re still standing here when the court is adjourned.

Don’t you know that all you have to do
is shine my signal in the sky
and I’ll be there like my name is the Flash
right by your side

Things didn’t always go the way we planned
but we know that everything happens for a reason.
But tell me what more we need when it’s you and me because what if that’s all there’s left to believe in?

Sometimes I'm not there to catch your tears,
but I never want to see you cry.
I can't always be what you need,
but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna try.
There's a lot of things that I can't do,
and I'm not perfect but neither are you.
I can be your superhero

I'll always be the first one you call
when you need someone to make you smile
and we can figure out whatever comes our way
even if it takes awhile.
Just trust me on this when I say
I don't need a cape to save your day
I can be your superhero.

We’ve come so far, so don’t give up now.
There’s still time left to score.
You know that I’ll never let you down,
and that’s what superheros are for.

Don’t you know that all you have to do
is shine my signal in the sky
and I’ll be there like my name is the Flash
right by your side
