Save Me is a song by rock band Remy Zero from the album The Golden Hum. The theme version is used for the television show Smallville.
The song has a soaring anthemic chorus, making it a natural choice for the superhero themed show. Lyrics from the clip used as the theme: "Somebody save me/Let your warm hands break right through . . . Come on, I've been waiting for you" echo the issues presented in many Smallville episodes.
The shorter version of the song is from the Smallville compilation CD: Smallville: The Talon Mix (2003). The Season One finale, titled Tempest, features Remy Zero appearing at the Spring Formal and performing the theme version of "Save Me" and "Perfect Memory (I'll Remember You)".
Lyrics[]
- Somebody save me
- Let your warm hands break right through
- Somebody save me
- I don't care how you do it
- Just stay, stay, come on
- I've been waiting for you
- I've made this whole world shine for you
- Stay, stay, come on
Full Lyrics[]
The lyrics for the full song are:
- I feel my wings have broken in your hands
- I feel the words unspoken inside
- And they pull you under
- I will give you anything you want, but know
- You were all I wanted
- And all my dreams have fallen down
- Crawling around and 'round
- Somebody save me
- Let your warm hands break right through
- Somebody save me
- I don't care how you do it
- Just stay, stay, oh, come on
- I've been waiting for you
- I see the world as folded in your heart
- I feel the waves crash down inside
- And they pull me under
- I would give you anything you want, but know
- You were all I wanted
- And all my dreams have fallen down
- Crawling around and 'round
- Somebody save me
- Let your warm hands break right through
- Somebody save me
- I don't care how you do it
- Just stay, stay, come on
- I've been waiting for you
- All my dreams are on the ground
- Crawling around and 'round
- Somebody save me
- Let your warm hands break right through
- Somebody save me
- I don't care how you do it
- Just stay here with me
- I made this whole world shine for you
- Just stay, stay, oh, come on.
- I'm still waiting for you
