## Lyrics

[Verse 1: Joshua Bassett & *Olivia Rodrigo*]

I fell in love

With the only girl who knows what I'm about

*I fell in love*

*With a boy and I can't tell if I fell out*

[Pre-Chorus 1: Olivia Rodrigo & *Joshua Bassett*]

After all is said and done

I can't just pretend I'm movin' on

*Is it just a part we're playin'?*

*'Cause it don't feel like we're fakin'*

[Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo & Joshua Bassett, *Olivia Rodrigo*]

When we're underneath the lights

My heart's no longer broken

For a moment, just for a moment

When we're singin' side by side

There's so much left unspoken

For a moment, just for a moment

A moment in love (Just for a moment)

A moment in love (Just for a moment)

*But is a moment enough?*

[Verse 2: Joshua Bassett & *Olivia Rodrigo*]

Way, way back then

Always dreamed it's you and me 'til the end

*Now, we can't play pretend*

*And I'm scared to talk to my best friend*

[Pre-Chorus 2: Olivia Rodrigo & *Joshua Bassett*]

Should I stay or let you go?

Will you love me when the curtains close?

*Is it just a part we're playin'?*

*'Cause it don't feel like we're fakin'*

[Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo & Joshua Bassett, *Joshua Bassett*]

When we're underneath the lights

My heart's no longer broken

For a moment, just for a moment

When we're singin' side by side

There's so much left unspoken

For a moment, just for a moment

A moment in love (Just for a moment)

A moment in love (Just for a moment)

*But is a moment enough?*

[Bridge: Olivia Rodrigo]

Maybe your heart still stops when you see me

Maybe it's worth another try, better place, better time

[Chorus: Olivia Rodrigo & Joshua Bassett, *Joshua Bassett*]

When we're underneath the lights (*Underneath the lights*)

My heart's no longer broken

For a moment, just for a moment (*Just for a moment*)

When we're singin' side by side

There's so much left unspoken

For a moment, just for a moment

A moment in love (Just for a moment)

A moment in love (Just for a moment), *oh*

But is a moment enough?

[Outro: Olivia Rodrigo & Joshua Bassett]

When we're underneath the lights

My heart's no longer broken

For a moment, just for a moment

## Lyrics

 [Intro: Lucas Grabeel, Kate Reinders]

Those kids, they do believe in you

And that's worth so much more

Than a line about a piece of fruit

Or a Tony Award

I was going for an EGOT

Let's not get ahead of ourselves

[Verse 1: Lucas Grabeel, Kate Reinders]

Think of this as the role of a lifetime

It's the part you were born to play

Keeping their dreams in your sight line

Now it's their turn to take the stage

Think of this as a role to remember, like Elphaba or Éponine

I'm more of a Glinda

It's all of the things you could ever bring to a scene

You know what I mean?

[Chorus: Lucas Grabeel]

So give it your all, right from the start

You gotta play this from the heart

You're their teacher, you're the lead

And you're off book now!

Give it a go, show 'em the way

We're all in this together at the end of the day

I should know, after all, I played Ryan

(Ryan)

[Verse 2: Kate Reinders]

Is this the role of a lifetime? The part I was born to play?

Showing them how to smile in the bright lights

Now it's their turn to take the stage

This could be a role to remember, like Elsa or Eva Perón

I'll teach them to channel their feelings, I'll share what I know

And live for the show

[Chorus: Kate Reinders, Kate Reinders & Lucas Grabeel]

I'll give it my all, right from the start

I gotta play this from the heart

I'm their teacher, I'm the lead

And I'm off book now!

Give it a go, show 'em the way

You gotta let the music play

This is now and the rest is history

[Bridge: Kate Reinders, Lucas Grabeel]

I felt small, I couldn't breathe

When they took that apple from me

But you're right here now

And you never know when you'll get a cameo!

[Chorus: Kate Reinders, Lucas Grabeel, Both]

So give it your all, right from the start

You gotta let them play their parts

Tonight, all the roles will be played by the drama students of East High

Give it a go, show 'em the way

You gotta let the music play

This is now and we're making history

[Outro: Lucas Grabeel, Kate Reinders]

## Lyrics

**Joshua**:

I still remember the first time we ever kissed

We didn’t need no mistletoe

To know what loving is

Through every up-and-down

There’s one thing that stays true

Christmas is better every second it’s with you

I don’t got much to give

So I hope you think this is

The perfect gift, that I could give

To the perfect gift, that ever lived

Yeah this song

The second best that I could do

When the perfеct gift is you, you-ou

When the perfеct gift is you, you-ou

I can’t pretend

That this has been the perfect year

You held my hand through every tear-ear

You were a home for me

When I had no one there

I promise you that I’m not going anywhere

I don’t got much to give

So I hope you think this is

The perfect gift, that I could give

To the perfect gift, that ever lived

Yeah this song

The second best that I could do

When the perfect gift is you, you-ou

When the perfect gift is you, you-ou

When seasons change and I’ve lost my way

It’ll be okay with you by my side

And darlin' that’s why

This song the second best that I could do

When the perfect gift is you, you-ou

When the perfect gift is you, you-ou

When the perfect gift is you, you-ou

When the perfect gift is you

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Racing toward the horizon to see the rear-view moon

I'm chasing pavement, escaping the life I knew, ooh

Give me empty pages, just give me something new

I’m makin' up for the time that I lost on you

[Pre-Chorus]

And I'm never gonna turn this car around

And I’m getting lost, don't care if I am found

[Chorus]

Breakin' away from the broken hearts

No more mistakes, no more empty starts

I'm finally, finally free, finally, finally

New state of mind on the interstate

Nobody takin' my life away

I'm finally, finally free, finally, finally me

[Verse 2]

Buildin' out from the bottom

Now there's no way to go but up

And I’m not gonna stop ’til I get enough

[Pre-Chorus]

And I'm going down a road that I don’t know

Yeah, I let it take me anywhere but home

[Chorus]

Breakin' away from the broken hearts

No more mistakes, no more empty starts

I'm finally, finally free, finally, finally

New state of mind on the interstate

Nobody takin' my life away

I’m finally, finally free, finally, finally me, finally me

[Bridge]

I'm never going back to who I've been (Never going back again)

I'm never going back to way back when (I'm not going)

I'm taking my time, won't be defined by who I was back then

I'm never going back again, again, again, again

[Chorus]

Breakin' away from the broken hearts

No more mistakes, no more empty starts

I'm finally, finally free, finally

New state of mind on the interstate

Nobody takin' my life away (Life away, I'm)

I'm finally, finally free, finally, finally me, finally me (Me)

[Outro]

Finally free

Finally, finally

Finally me, finally

It's hard to believe that I couldn't see

You were always there beside me

*Thought I was alone, with no one to hold*

*But you were always there beside me*

*This feeling's like no other*

*I want you to know*

[Chorus: Both, *Olivia Rodrigo*]

I've never had someone that knows me like you do

The way you do

I've never had someone as good for me as you

No one like you

*So lonely before I finally found, ha, what I've been looking for*

[Verse 2: Olivia Rodrigo, *Matt Cornett*, **Both**]

Ha, so good to be seen, so good to be heard

**Don't have to say** a word

*For so long I was lost, so good to be found*

Hmm, **I'm loving having you around**

This feeling's like no other

I want you to know

[Chorus: Both, *Olivia Rodrigo*]

I've never had someone that knows me like you do

The way you do

I've never had someone as good for me as you

No one like you

## Lyrics

[Intro]

You're not alone

You're not alone

[Verse 1]

Can't believe i'm here right now

I can see myself lift off the ground

I know how cliche this sounds

But I can hear a voice say through the crowd

(You're not alone)

My fears they keep on rising

(You're not alone)

But I won't stop trying

[Chorus]

Here I come

Loud as a lion

I'll keep on fighting

I’ve just begun

See the horizon

I'll keep on climbing

I’ve shown that

I’ve grown through the changes

Had to prove to myself I’mma make it

Here I come

I won’t stop till the war is won

[Verse 2]

I can take it

Push myself to the greatness

Won't fall back

I'mma climb it

No more hesitation

Cuz' I see myself

But can I, have learn to save the air

I believe the voices saying

(You're not alone)

Always wants it to be perfect

(You're not alone)

But the pages turned

[Chorus]

Here I come

Loud as a lion

I'll keep on fighting

I’ve just begun

See the horizon

I'll keep on climbing

I’ve shown that

I’ve grown through the changes

Had to prove to myself I’mma make it

Here I come

I won’t stop till the war is won

[Bridge]

I can be bold

Be unashamed

Be in control

Be unafraid

Letting it show

I was born to be brave

[Chorus]

Here I come

Loud as a lion

I'll keep on fighting

I’ve just begun

See the horizon

I'll keep on climbing

I’ve shown that

I’ve grown through the changes

Had to prove to myself I’mma make it

Here I come

I won’t stop till the war is won

I won’t stop till the war is won

Wondering

**"Wondering"** is an original song from High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. The song is sung by Julia Lester as Ashlyn Caswell & Olivia Rodrigo as Nini Salazar-Roberts.

## Summary

Ashlyn wrote the song to add to their production of High School Musical for her role of Mrs. Darbus. Nini walked in on her practicing it and things are awkward at first but Nini breaks the ice by telling Ashlyn about sweet texts she was getting from one of her moms. Ashlyn then shows the song to Nini and they sing it together. During the song Nini is thinking about Ricky and then Ricky walks in. He feels like they shared a "moment". <3

## Lyrics

**Ashlyn**:

Seems like a part of me will always have to lose

Every single time I have to choose

Swore that it felt right, but was I wrong?

Is this where I'm supposed to be at all?

I don’t have the answers, not today

It's like nothing makes the questions go away

What I'd give to see if the grass was greener

On the other side of all I’ve had and lost

Would it be enough, or would I still be wondering

If I could go back and change the past

Be a little braver than I had

And bet against the odds

Would I still be lost?

Even if I woke up in my dreams

Would there still be something I'm missing

If I had everything, would it mean anything

To me?

**Nini**:

Feels like I might have broke the best thing that I had

I said too much to ever take it back

Scared I'll never find something as good

And would I even know it if I could?

From the other side of all I've had and lost

Would it be enough, or would I still be wondering?

(Or would I still be wondering, oh)

If I could go back and change the past

Be a little braver than I had

And bet against the odds

Would I still be lost?

Even if I woke up in my dreams

Would there still be something I'm missing

If I had everything, would it mean anything

Maybe I should turn around and take the other road

Or maybe I'm just looking for what I already know

I'm just wondering

**Nini & Ashlyn**:

If I could go back and change the past

Be a little braver than I had

And bet against the odds

Would I still be lost?

Even if I woke up in my dreams

Would there still be something I'm missing

If I had everything, would it mean anything

To me?

Would it be enough, or would I still be wondering?

 Gina:

Some days you've gotta take some time to breathe

Let your heart off the leash

'Cause it ain't meant to shine in one place

Carlos:

Remind yourself at times that time can wait

Just 'cause you take a break

Don't mean the lights are out on Broadway

EJ:

We build monuments in our sleep

Climb mountains too high to reach

There's so much more than they see on the daily

Ashlyn:

Strength in numbers, second to none

Come up like we're numbеr one

Recharged and rеady to run, run, run

Ashlyn and Nini:

Roarin' louder than thunder

But you'll never see it comin', see it comin'

As long as we've got each other

Watch out, 'cause you ain't seen nothin', ain't seen nothin'

Kourtney:

No stress, ain't overdressed, we keep our cool

Playin' by our own rules, no divide, that's how we conquer

Big Red:

Time out don't mean we're 'bout to step aside

Just maintenance for the ride

That's gettin' better, faster, stronger

Seb:

Ain't no rainin' on this parade

'Cause we're a force that's self-made

Nini:

Do what we do, and we do it our way

All:

Roarin' louder than thunder

But you'll never see it comin', see it comin'

(With Kourtney: As long as we've got each other)

Watch out, 'cause you ain't seen nothin', ain't seen nothin'

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

You ain't seen nothin', ain't seen nothin'

When they go low (They go low), we go high (We go high), we go high

When they go low, we go high

When they go low, we go high

When they go low (They go low), we go high, we go high

We go high, we go high, we go high

All (with Ashlyn):

(Ashlyn: Oh) Roarin' louder than thunder

But you'll never see it comin', (Ashlyn: but you'll never see it) see it (comin')

Watch out, 'cause you ain't seen nothin', (Ashlyn: No you) ain't seen nothin'

All (Ashlyn):

Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah

Now it makes us want to dance

So we're putting in a good word 'cause we heard

Whatever about her reputation

## Lyrics

 [Verse 1]

All my life, I've seen myself through your eyes

Wonderin' if I am good enough for your time

You love me but for all the wrong reasons

Am I somethin' to you and not someone?

'Cause I feel trapped on this pedestal you put me on

You tell me that I'm beautiful but I think that's an understatement

[Chorus]

'Cause I am more than what I am to you

You say I'm perfect but I've got thorns with my petals, too

And I won't be confined to your point of view

I'm breakin' through the glass you put me in

'Cause my beauty's from within

[Bridge]

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh

My beauty's from within

Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]

So, I am done livin' my lifе just for you

You watched me wither and now you'll watch mе bloom

You're hidin' in the dark but I'm reachin' for the sun, woo-ooh

[Chorus]

'Cause I am more than what I am to you

You say I'm pretty but I've got magic that you never knew

And I won't be confined to your point of view

I'm breakin' through the glass you put me in

'Cause I am more than what I am to you

You say I'm perfect but I've got thorns with my petals, too

And I won't be confined to your point of view

I'm breakin' through the glass you put me in

'Cause my beauty's from within

Oliver Goldstick

Oliver Goldstick was a showrunner for High School Musical: The Musical: The Series but after creative differences with Tim Federle about whether or not the show should tackle more mature issues. Disney sided with Tim who thought that they shouldn't and Oliver left after the first half of Season 1. This was most likely the reason for it seeming like there would be plot lines in the first season that never happened.
