Everything Is Not What It Seems is the theme song to Wizards of Waverly Place, and performed by pop rock group, The Scene, fronted by series star Selena Gomez. The song was performed normally for the first three seasons, with a remix version for Season 4.

Lyrics[]

Well you know everything's gonna be a breeze
That the end will no doubt justify the means
You can fix any problem with the slightest ease
Yes, please..

Well you might find out it'll go to your head
When you write a report on a book you never read
With the snap of your fingers you can make your bed
That's what I said

Everything is not what it seems!
When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams,
You might run into trouble if you go to extremes,
Because everything is not what it seems

Everything is not what it seems!
When you can have what you want by the simplest of means
Be careful not to mess with the balance of things
Because everything is not what it seems!

Everything
Is not
What it seems

Well, you know everything's gonna be a breeze
That the end will no doubt justify the means
You can fix any problem with the slightest of ease
Yes, please
But you might find out it'll go to your head
When you write a report on a book you never read
With the snap of your fingers you can make your bed
That's what I said

Everything is not what it seems
When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams
You might run into trouble if you go to extremes
Because everything is not what it seems

There's always a lotta people that you need to see
But you got a quick way to get from A to B
Just be careful of who's aware of your reality
You know what I mean!
There's a whole other world that you only know
When you can make yourself invisible from head to toe
But understand, it's not the status quo
Oh, careful what you show!

Everything is not what it seems
When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams
You might run into trouble if you go to extremes
Because everything is not what it seems
Everything is not what it seems
When you can have what you want by the simplest of means
Be careful not to mess with the balance of things
Because everything is not what it seems

Oh, ohh-oh
Ohh-oh, oh
Oh, ohh-oh
Ohh-oh, oh

Uh, oh!
Things are getting kind of tricky
But it doesn't mean much to a girl like me
'Cause I can do the things that you'll never believe
Even in your wildest dreams
Well, excuse me
I know it's strange, but true
In my opinion, from my point of view
But once in a blue moon, I don't know what to do
It's like a catch-22

Everything is not what it seems
When you can get all you wanted in your wildest dreams
You might run into trouble if you go to extremes
Because everything is not what it seems
Everything is not what it seems
When you can have what you want by the simplest of means
Be careful not to mess with the balance of things
Because everything is not what it seems

Everything is not what it seems
When you can have what you want by the simplest of means
Be careful not to mess with the balance of things
Because everything is not
What it seems
