[Verse 1 – Superman] God keeps talkin’ to me I wake up in a cold, hard dream He says, “Reach out to Maggie” But I don’t know what He means I was back in school again Music books, old violins No toothbrush, floors to sweep Just my hands and water, deep [Verse 2 – Lois Lane] You came in with that look again Like you don’t know where you’ve been A flower crushed in your right hand Sayin’ you don’t understand I was layin’ there, eyes half-closed You stared at me like a ghost But boy, you’d already let me go You just deleted me slow [Chorus – Both] Superman: God keeps talkin’ to me Lois: Maybe He’s just tryin’ to set you free Superman: She used to call me Superman Lois: But that ain’t who I knew in the end Superman: I ride through the hills just to feel again Lois: You fly, but you don’t know where to land Both: Still chasin’ the shape of love That we both gave up [Verse 3 – Superman] I prayed at Monterey Market June said, “Daddy, turn it off” Ella hid beneath her hoodie And my music felt so lost I thought no one wants to hear me But I still make these songs For her, for you, for us Even if it’s all gone [Verse 4 – Lois Lane] I don’t need your songs to tell me What your silence already said You broke your word and built a wall Then asked me to climb it instead You say you’re givin’ me a chance But darlin’, this was mine to choose If I tell you “go away” Will you finally see the truth? [Chorus – Both] Superman: God keeps talkin’ to me Lois: Maybe He’s just tryin’ to set you free Superman: You used to call me Superman Lois: But you never held my hand Superman: I ride through the hills just to feel again Lois: You fly, but you don’t know how to land Both: Still chasin’ the sound of love That we both gave up [Bridge – Superman] Is it joy, or just the pain Of tryin’ to fly through the rain? I held June’s heart with heavy arms This medicine’s both curse and balm [Bridge – Lois Lane] You say God won’t let you be But maybe He’s not talkin’ to me Maybe He’s askin’ you to grieve To stop tryin’ to make me believe [Outro – Both] Superman: God… please stop talkin’ to me Lois: Let me go, just let me be Superman: Even Superman Lois: Can’t fix everything Both: And love don’t always Come back with wings
