Five years away you'll look back and laugh
At a photograph you took today
Like a letter from a lover from the distant past
You toss it off and you throw it all away
Then small things are somehow grand
And you learn to listen and you listen good
And I've read you from cover to cover
And I must read you again someday
It's funny how time pulls the rug from under you, yeah
Oh, I'm defying gravity - defying gravity with you, yeah
We got no vertigo no more
Ain't got no physical rule
Five years away you'll look back and laugh
At a photograph you took today
Like a letter from a lover from the distant past
I must read you again someday
It's funny ....
I'm defying gravity
