about

ShyBoy's gifts as a colorful storyteller and emotive vocalist are highlighted beautifully on "Superhero." An alchemy of childlike wonder and mature honesty drives the song’s sweet and vulnerable tone: “I wanna be the Superman/I wanna fly in with a big red cape/I wanna save the world and then/Maybe I can save myself.” With these words and an engaging melody, ShyBoy makes a very personal statement with universal appeal.

lyrics

“Superhero”

I wanna be the Superman
I wanna fly in with a big red cape
I wanna save the world and then
Maybe I can save myself

I wanna be the dark knight
In shining armor and do all those cool things
I wanna make the world safe again
So that I can hold you close

I just wanna be the good guy and save the day
So I can hold you tightly
And have you never pull away

All I, all I wanna be is your superhero

I wanna be like Wonder Woman
Tie you up with my lasso of truth
Make you speak with honesty
So I can finally know what’s real

I wanna be like the Super Friends
With special powers but unique in their own way
Squad goals on Instagram
With a hundred million likes

All I want is to make things right
For all the wrong reasons
I wanna save the world
Cause I wanna feel your love
I wanna save the world
Cause right now I really need a hug

Up up and away, I’ll fly away with you
Up up and away, we can fly away
