Meaning

Its about a girl who was hurt before, and finds it hard to let anyone in.
She leans on excuses such as "im a supergirl" and "im strong", and says she can deal with it alone.


"She's sewing seeds, she's burning trees"
She is planting the seed of love, yet not letting the trees to live. She instead burns them

Lyrics

You can tell by the way
She walks that she's my girl
You can tell by the way
She talks, she rules the world

You can see in her eyes
That no one is her chain
She's my girl, my supergirl

And then she'd say, "It's okay
I got lost on the way
But I'm a supergirl
And supergirls don't cry"

And then she'd say, "It's alright
I got home late last night
But I'm a supergirl
And supergirls just fly"

And then she'd say, "It's alright
I got home, late last night
But I'm a supergirl
And supergirls just fly"

And then she'd say
That nothing can go wrong
When you're in love
What can go wrong?
Then she'd laugh
The night time into day
Pushing her fear further long

And then she'd say, "It's okay
I got lost on the way
But I'm a supergirl
And supergirls don't cry"

And then she'd shout down the line
Tell me she's got no more time
'Cause she's a supergirl
And supergirls don't hide

And then she'd scream in my face
Tell me to leave, leave this place
'Cause she's a supergirl
And supergirls just fly

Yes, she's a supergirl, a supergirl
She's sewing seeds, she's burning trees
She's sewing seeds, she's burning trees
Yes, she's a supergirl, a supergirl
A supergirl, my supergirl
Play with the song, fill the gaps
