Lyrics
Monday finds you like a bomb

That's been left ticking there too long

You're bleeding

Some days there's nothing left to learn

From the point of no return

You're leaving



Hey, hey, I saved the world today

Everybody's happy now

The bad thing's gone away

And everybody's happy now

The good thing's here to stay

Please let it stay



There's a million mouths to feed

But I've got everything I need

I'm breathing

And there's a hurting thing inside

But I've got everything to hide

I'm grieving



Hey, hey, I saved the world today

And everybody's happy now

The bad thing's gone away

And everybody's happy now

The good thing's here to stay

Please let it stay

Let it stay



Hey, hey, I saved the world today

And everybody's happy now

The bad thing's gone away

And everybody's happy now

The good thing's here to stay

Please let it stay

Let it stay

Oh, festividder, thank you so much! This is so beautiful, and also really moving. ♥ I love how you've showcased the strength of their relationship, how they have each others' backs and how when they fight it really hurts. The use of the flashback scenes is so good, and I love all your clip choices and the way they work together - the bit right at the beginning with Alex loading her gun and Kara running through the alley was awesome. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way you edited the section with Kara shouting at the Astra hologram - it gave me chills. Alex rescuing Kara at the beginning of the first chorus was another wonderful moment. It's ALL wonderful. ♥ I love the Danvers sisters. I love this. THANK YOU! ♥ ♥ ♥

This is lovely!

[purplefringe]

Ohhhhh, this is so lovely and full of feelings <3 This is such a beautiful, strong sisterly relationship and you've captured everything that I love about it - the warmth, the realism in the way they interact, and the way they look out for each other. Beautifully done.

[elipie]

Oh noooooooo I have FEELINGS! Danvers sisters. <333 This is absolutely lovely. What a great song choice, and wonderful use of footage.

[heresluck]

OH MY GOD. I didn't even know I *had* this many Danvers sisters feelings, and then every time they hugged or swapped ice cream on "the good thing's here to stay" I TEARED UP. SO MANY FEELS.

[niyalune]

What a wonderful look at their relationship!

[runawaynun]

I like how you captured the melancholy parts of the show and how much the Danvers sisters love each other and get themselves through the bad times. <3 The part about hurt and grieving and tying it into the hologram of Kara's mom - that was really powerful.

[violetemerald]

This is so unique!! I love the sweet truth of their love and how this song captures it in a beautiful, yet also kind of haunting way. It's not the happiest Supergirl vid and while the show is such a feel good show, it also has these moments of desperation and sadness and needing to rely on each other to save them, to comfort them, to be their best friend and their family. ;) What a great song choice and great moments that you chose!! I really think your editing worked great with this music.

[leanwellback]

Oh this is so gorgeous! Thank you so much for making a vid about Kara and Alex, their relationship is one of my favourite things about the show and you showcased it so wonderfully. I love all the flashbacks and ups and downs and how well you captured the realism in their relationship and weight of history they have and just ♥!! I am an emotion.

[livrelibre]

Beautiful!

[thirdblindmouse]

Sisters!! I love the way you've highlighted their relationship (and how it is affected by others) and all the times they save each other.

[echan]

OH HEART, so much heart in this, joy and heartache and everything in between, brilliant.

[sarkastic]

Oh, this was really lovely. What an awesome portrayal of the most important relationship on the show!

[mammothluv]

OH MY GOSH. I have SO MANY FEELINGS about this. This is beautifully done. The Kara/Alex relationship really is the core of the show in so many ways and you've captured it beautifully with this. Awesome job!

[goodbyebird]

Awww look at them being sisters and awesome and supportive of one another ♥♥♥

[frayadjacent]

This is such a moving tribute to Kara and Alex. I love their relationship and you did it real justice. I'm so impressed by how you chose and handled high-energy clips to go with a slow song with a fairly steady rhythm. They mesh really well and it flows beautifully; a real visual treat. Gorgeous vid!

[revolutionaryjo]

This is really beautiful! I love the focus on Alex and Kara's relationship.

[anoel]

Awww this is so beautiful and cute and gave me SO MANY SISTER FEELS!!! The song choice was so perfect and I loved how it allowed you to show all the more delicate moments between them especially with the touching as well as make Supergirl's struggles as a hero more emotionally resonant. And the ending is perfect! I love this vid :D

[bessyboo]

Oh, festividder. Ohhhhhh.

Probably judging by other comments you did not actually specifically intend this vid in a shippy manner, but I have chosen to view it through my ship-tinted glasses and oh my god, I have so many emotions I cannot even properly express them with words. When I first saw this, I literally made a little "meep" sound and fell over on the couch from feels, as anyone at revolutionaryjo's festivids party can attest to.

I wish I had more coherent things to say, but thank you, THANK YOU for making my festivids <333

[grammarwoman]

What a lovely vid about a great pair of sisters. :)

[beatrice_otter]

Lovely look at the sisters' relationship.

[felis]

I don't watch the show, but you totally got me invested in these two characters and their sibling relationship. It felt real and I love how it's both totally heartwarming and a bit melancholy. Loved the "saved the world today" lines being about them saving each other, the juxtaposition of bad and good times, the inclusion of the backstory bits, the handholding on 1:12. And the ending was perfect!

[monanotlisa]

Oh, the sisters! You vidded my two favorites, Kara and Alex, and you did such a great job with the softer beats between them, balancing them with the hard action (and of course Alex saving Kara). Yay!
