Instead of flying off the handle?

Grovel in subm

[Verse 1]
             
 Something has

 
 changed withi

n mе
             
 Something is 


not the same
             
 I’m through w

    
ith playing by
             
The rules of s

       
omeone else's 

game
              
Too late for s

      
econd-guessing
            
Too late to go

 
 back to sleep
            
It's time to t

rust my instin

cts
             
Close my eyes,

      
 and leap


[Chorus]
             
It's time to t

         
ry defying gra

vity
             
I think I’ll t

         
ry defying gra

vity
              
And you can't 

        
pull me down


[Verse 2]
             
Can't I make y

        
ou understand
              
You're having 

  
delusions of g

randeur?
             
I'm through ac

       
cepting limits
             
'Cause someone

             
 says they're 

   
so
              
Some things I 

      
cannot change
          
But 'til I try

       
, I'll never k

now
              
Too long I've 


been afraid of
            
Losing love, I

 
 guess I've lo

st
            
  Well, if tha

    
t's love
             
It comes at mu

              
ch too high a 

 
cost


[Chorus]
            
I'd sooner buy

        
 defying gravi

ty
            
Kiss me goodby

             
e, I'm defying

 
 gravity
              
And you can't 

       
pull me down


[Bridge]
N.C.
Come with me
         
Think of what 

we could do to

gether
  
Unlimited
           
Together, we'r

      
e unli-mited
              
Together we'll

            
 be the greate

            
st team there'

linda
           
Dreams the way

    
 we planned 'e

m
             
If we work in 


tandem
            
There's no fig

      
ht we cannot w

in


[Chorus]
             
Just you and I

       
 defying gravi

ty
             
With you and I

       
 defying gravi

ty
              
They'll never 

                 
bring us down

Are you coming

I hope you're happy

Now that you'r

No, leave her 

alone!
    
She hasn't don

[Verse 4]
            
 So if you car

           
e to find me
             
Look to the we

          
stern sky
             
As someone tol

     
d me lately
         
"Everyone dese

            
rves the chanc

     
e to fly"
           
And if I'm fly

ing solo
            
  At least, I'

  
m flying free
            
  To those who

   
'd ground me
             
Take a message

             
 back from me


[Chorus]
              
Tell them how 

         
I'm defying gr

avity
            
I'm flying hig

          
h, defying gra

vity
              
And soon, I'll

              
 match them in

       
 renown


[Outro]
  

Unlimited

Unlimited
      
Unlimited
             
And nobody in 


all of Oz
            
No wizard that

       
 there is or w

as
            
Is ever gonna 

       
bring me down

I hope you're happy

Look at her! She's wicked!

Get her!
              
No one mourns 

    
the wicked (Br

ing me down)
            
So we've got t

Oh
    
Down
