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 'till

the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without

touch.

You keep me whitout

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

you're keeping me down

But you're on to me

you're on to me

and all over

Something always

brings me back to you.

It never takes too long.
