Something has changed within me
Something is not the same
I'm through with playing
By the rules of someone else's game
I don't know what it is about this song. But whenever it starts to sing, I feel like there's something that is being said in between the lyrics. Is life that impossible? Is life that tough? What am I afraid of?
Too late for second guessing
Too late to go back to sleep
Its time to trust my instincts
Close my eyes and leap
I've always encouraged my friends and colleagues, the ones who dare to go and do great things, or even the ones who have stepped out of their comfort zones, to go for it! Do it! You'll NEVER regret it! And I guess, sometimes the advice I give others is the one that I should take a full tablespoon of.
Its time to try defying gravity
I think I'll try defying gravity
And you won't bring me down
But sometimes, I think real life gets through to you and it literally...brings you down. The worries and fears of unpaid bills, about regrets, about what society expects of you, about responsibilities and acting like an "adult", about all the things that you could have done to stay in your safe little nook in life. But honestly.
What are you afraid of? Yourself? What's your worst nightmare? And do you think its scary enough to let everything go? Everything you've dreamed and wondered about?
I'm through accepting limits
'Cos someone says they're so
Some things I cannot change
But til I try, I'll never know
But yet, I stay.
Too long I've been afraid of
Losing love I guess I've lost
But if that's love
It comes at much too high a cost
I guess someday, I'll regret being in this spot. Its all right, really. It pays the bills. I'm able to save and put away some money. But is this it? End of the line? The thought of me being in this position for the next 40 years scares the living sh|t out of me. There's gotta be more. Please.
I'll sooner buy defying gravity
Kiss me goodbye, I'm defying gravity
And you can't pull me down
Everyday, I wake up in the morning and I wonder what could be different. What could I change so that when I open my eyes, I'm actually excited. I'm actually brimming and literally jittery from the excitement. What could that thing be?
So if you care to find me
Look to the Western sky
As someone told me lately
Everyone deserves a chance to fly
I'm at the cusp of a lot of things happening. Already, I'm preparing myself mentally for things to change this year. Its scary but I think, again, its part of my personality. I like it when things change. And especially when I am forced out of my comfort zone and I actually have to man up for once and stop being such a sissy.
And if I'm flying solo
At least I'm flying free
To those who ground me
Take a message back from me
Tell them how I'm defying gravity. How I'm changing my life. How I'm making a difference. And for once, I'm waking up excited.
Tell them how I'm defying gravity
I'm flying high
Defying gravity
And soon I'll match them in renown
One day, boy. One day.
I hope you're happy in the end
I hope you're happy, my friend.
