gravity

by sara bareilles

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 rain

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

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

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...
