Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
These planes can't keep flying if we're in the sky
'Cause we're bigger, bigger
Our time can't keep passing, forever we're lasting
We're bigger, so bigger
Rochelle:
Bigger than the sky and everything in it
Bigger, we're all bigger
Bigger than the bridge we're crossing in London
Bigger than the longest races we're running
Bigger, we're all bigger
Vanessa:
Bigger than love
Bigger than love
These waves can't keep crashing, we're looking right past them
We're bigger, yeah, so bigger, yeah
Earthquakes keep shaking but we're never breaking
We're bigger, yeah, we're so much bigger
Rochelle:
Bigger than the sky and everything in it
Bigger than the deepest ocean we swim in
Bigger, we're all bigger
Frankie:
Bigger than the bridge we're crossing in London
Bigger than the longest races we're running

Mollie:
The music could stop but we'd keep on dancing
If we ever drop from the sky, we're landing bigger
Bigger, bigger, bigger...
The world could end but we won't stop living
The sun could black out but we'll never back out
Bigger, bigger, bigger...

We're bigger
Vanessa:
Bigger than love
Bigger than love

We're bigger than love
