Superhero

I asked the girl hanging on the edge
"Can i be your superhero?"
I asked the girl on the ledge
"Can i be your superhero?"

"Can i be selfless for you and selfless for me?"
"In your pain can i be all you want to see?"
"I cannot fly, nor can i run at any blinding pace"
"But my reward will be the smile upon your face"
"But in this joy there is a cost you see"

"For saving the day tends to be a routine"
I asked the girl hanging on the edge
"Can you be my superhero?"

"I need to save you, as you save me"
"My purpose tends to depend on which way your happiness ends"
"For what is the hero without the damsel if anything at all"
"Is the presence of the hero what makes the damsel fall?"
"Is it me, or is it you the one with the cape?"
"Am I why you are jumping to this untimley fate?"

I said to the girl hanging on the edge
"It is not you that needs me"
"It is I that strives everyday to make yours the face i see"
