Lyrics Gravity

Gravity by John Mayer deals with the struggles and pressures of life and career, using gravity as a metaphor for the burdens. Mayer expressed that the lyrics reflect his desire to stay out of trouble and remain grounded.

Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away

Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

Oh twice as much aint twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more,
That's gonna send me to my knees

Oh twice as much aint twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more,
That's gonna send me to my knees

Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
Oh gravity has taken better men than me

Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Come on keep me where the light is
Come on keep me where the light is
Come on keep me where, keep me where the light is
