[Verse 1]
Before I met you, I pushed them all away
Soon as I kissed you, I wanted you to stay
What I like about you is you know who you are
What you like about me is I know what I'm not
[Pre-Chorus]
And I, I know that you never sleep, oh
So impossible to dream
When you’re far away from me
Oh I, I'm all you could ever need, oh
So impossible to breathe
[Chorus]
I love the way, I love the way
We worked so hard, yeah, we've come so far
Baby, look at me, you’re my superstar
When I'm afraid, when the world's gone dark
Come and save my day, you're my superstar
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Superstar, superstar
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Superstar, superstar
Before I met you, I pushed them all away
Soon as I kissed you, I wanted you to stay
What I like about you is you know who you are
What you like about me is I know what I'm not
[Pre-Chorus]
And I, I know that you never sleep, oh
So impossible to dream
When you’re far away from me
Oh I, I'm all you could ever need, oh
So impossible to breathe
[Chorus]
I love the way, I love the way
We worked so hard, yeah, we've come so far
Baby, look at me, you’re my superstar
When I'm afraid, when the world's gone dark
Come and save my day, you're my superstar

[Verse 2]
You never judge me for any of my fears
Never turn your back, always keep my body near
All of the days that we spend apart
My love is a planet revolving your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
And I, I know that you never sleep, oh
So impossible to dream
When you're far away from me
Oh I, I'm all you could ever need, oh
So impossible to breathe
[Chorus]
I love the way, I love the way
We worked so hard, yeah, we've come so far
Baby, look at me, you're my superstar
When I’m afraid, when the world’s gone dark
Come and save my day, you're my superstar

Never turn your back, always keep my body near
All of the days that we spend apart
My love is a planet revolving your heart
[Pre-Chorus]
And I, I know that you never sleep, oh
So impossible to dream
When you're far away from me
Oh I, I'm all you could ever need, oh
So impossible to breathe
[Chorus]
I love the way, I love the way
We worked so hard, yeah, we've come so far
Baby, look at me, you're my superstar
When I’m afraid, when the world’s gone dark
Come and save my day, you're my superstar

[Bridge]
We’ll stick together, make it through the storm
You and I, whoever said we couldn't have it all?
[Chorus]
I love the way we worked so hard
Yeah, we've come so far
Baby, look at me, you're my superstar
When I’m afraid, when the world's gone dark
Come and save my day, you're my superstar

When I’m afraid, when the world's gone dark
Come and save my day, you're my superstar

What did MARINA say about "Superstar"?
Genius Answer
I spoke with every producer specifically about wanting to have space on this record, because my past work hasn’t had a lot. I think also when your mind is clearer you write sparse, simple songs. I also really like how the song celebrates the hard work that goes into a good relationship.”
