gravity

"something always brings me back to you

it never takes too long

no matter what I say or do i'll still

feel you here 'til the moment i'm gone

you hold me without touch

you keep me without chains

i never wanted anything so much than to

drown in your love and not feel your reign

set me free, leave me be

i don't want to fall another moment

into your gravity

here i am and i stand so tall,

just the way i'm supposed to be

but you're on to me and all over me

you loved me 'cause i'm fragile

when I thought that I was strong.

but you touch me for a little while and

all my fragile strength is gone.

.....

i live here on my knees as i try to make you see

that you're everything i think i need

here on the ground.

but you're neither friend nor foe

though i can't seem to let you go

the one thing that i still know

is that you're keeping me down

......

set me free, leave me be

i don't want to fall another moment

into your gravity

here i am and i stand so tall,

just the way i'm supposed to be

but you're on to me and all over me."
