She's watching the taxi driver, he pulls away
She's been locked up inside her apartment a hundred days
Emily Salvatore stood in her room on the day of her sister's coronation. Which was also the day she, Emily, was to be betrothed. Something she absolutely dreaded. She desperately wished Klaus would come and sweep her off her feet.
She says, "Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late.
He got stuck at the laundromat washing his cape."
Emily stood with her parents on the balcony. Being the youngest had it's perks, none of them applied to this moment. She saw him. She swears on her daylight ring that she saw Klaus amongst the crowd. 'Must have got caught up...' She muses. That thought is swept from her mind as Sky, her 'fiance', walks up and asks for a dance.
She's just watching the clouds roll by and they spell her name
Like Lois Lane
And she smiles, oh the way she smiles
She looks at the sky one last time before allowing Sky, her killer, to lead her to the dance floor.
She's talking to angels,
Counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers,
Falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms, yeah, in his arms, yeah
Waiting for Superman
As they dance her eyes are drawn to the back of a man in a suit. He was blonde, not the stark gold of Sky, no. It's more the dirty blonde of Klaus. She ignores him in favor of dancing with the guests. She's falling apart inside. She desperately wants Klaus to ask her for a dance. But he's not here. Isn't he?
She's out on the corner trying to catch a glimpse
Nothing's making sense
She's been chasing an answer, a sign lost in the abyss,
This Metropolis
Emily stands apart from everyone else. Sky had gone to get a drink, possibly poison her's. She looks around wondering, hoping Klaus was here.
She says, "Yeah, he's still coming, just a little bit late.
He got stuck at the Five and Dime saving the day."
She murmurs to herself. "He'll come. He'll get me out of here." Daphne touches her arm. "He won't leave you to him." She says giving her younger sister's arm a gentle squeeze.
She says, "If life was a movie, then it wouldn't end like this,
Left without a kiss."
Still, she smiles, oh, the way she smiles, yeah
Her father walks over and she smiles without thinking. "You still wish that other man would come." He observes. Emily looks down and nods. "I…" Her father walks away after giving her a hug. "He'll come." She tells herself. "I know he will."
She's talking to angels,
Counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers,
She's falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms, yeah, in his arms, yeah
She's waiting for Superman...
Kol appears and asks for a dance. "Is…" "Klaus here? You'll see Darling." He says as Sky walks over and cuts in. She instantly forgets her happiness. Sky always made her feel like she's less than she is.
...to lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love and flying through the air
Save her now before it's too late tonight
Oh, at the speed of light
And she smiles
Someone taps Sky on the shoulder. Sky turns and Emily is greeted by the sight she had so desperately want to see. Klaus Mikaelson glaring Sky down. "May I have this dance Miss Salvatore?" Klaus asks turning to her. His glare softens to a smile. She knows she's safe now. "Yes."
She's talking to angels,
Counting the stars
Making a wish on a passing car
She's dancing with strangers,
She's falling apart
Waiting for Superman to pick her up
In his arms, yeah, in his arms, yeah
She's waiting for Superman…
Emily and Klaus dance like they were made for one another. She felt safe in his arms. He kept her close, like he was scared Sky would come and take her. Daphne is watching with a smile on her face, her father has a similar expression.
...to lift her up and take her anywhere
Show her love, oh, and flying through the air
Save her now before it's too late tonight
Emily and Klaus stand together on a balcony. He turns to her and smiles down at her. "I promised. Didn't I?" He says softly. He kisses her before she can answer but she doesn't need words. She needs him.
Her Superman
She's waiting for Superman
