lyrics

Gravity is holding me up. It keeps my head out of the clouds and still wants me back each time I jump. Without it I would simply float away from everything and everyone I know. Imagine trying to sleep up in the sky. It gets so cold and wet up there and there's nowhere you can lie. The only thing that gets me out of bed is knowing that no matter where I go.
Gravity will meet me there and always get me where I need to be. You'll mess me up and throw me out, but gravity is always 'round to keep me falling down.
Gravity is holding me down. Every time I try to leave I find I'm not allowed. I'm tethered to this planet and to you the way this planet's tethered to the sun. Imagine if you knew there's something more. How could you go back down to Earth and live like this is all? The thing that makes it hard for me to do, is knowing that there's nothing to be done.
'Cause gravity will see me here and stop me being where I want to go. I know that I will never feel the same, but gravity's the one to blame. It keeps me falling down.
