Defying Gravity
Washington University Stereotypes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Rum-bin-dah-dim-dum 2x
Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing by the rules of someone elses game
Too late for second guessing
Too late you go back to sleep
It's time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes
and be
It's time to tr defying gravity
I think I'll try to defying gravity
They're never pull me down
Can't I make you understand
That I think illusions are render
I'm through with accepting any
Cause someone says they're so
Somethings that I cannot change
But til I try I'll never know
Too long I've been afraid of losing love I guess I've lost
Well if that love
It comes at much too high apart
I've too murked try defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye
I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
(Unlimited, together we're unlimited)
Together we'll be the greatest team there's ever been
Dreams the way we planned them
If we work in tandem
There's no fight we cannot win
Just you and I
Defying gravity
With you and I
Defying gravity
They'll never bring us down
Rum-bin-dah-dim-dum
mum 15x
So if you care to find me
Look to the western sky
As someone told me, late me?
(Everyone deserves the chance to defy)
And if I flying soldem
At least I'm flying free
To those who'd ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell that how I am defying gravity
I find it high defying gravity
It's you know match them in renown
And nobody in all of Oz
No wizard that there is or was
Is ever gonna bring
Me down




Bring me down 2x
Ah - Ah - Ah - Ah (Down).
