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
