Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In crowded bars
Past subway cars
[Verse 2]
Whenever you're next to me
Center of gravity
Can't feel both feet on the ground
[Verse 3]
Walking home after dark
Past the softball park
[Verse 4]
Whenever you're next to me
Center of gravity
Can't feel both feet on the ground
[Verse 5]
It's clear to me
According to a rule
I learned one day in school
Basic geometry
Two halves make a circle
You and me
[Verse 6]
It's a familiar song
We've known so long
[Verse 7]
Your clever cuts into me
As long as you're next to me
Can't feel both feet on the ground
[Verse 8]
Whenever you're next to me
Center of gravity
Can't feel both feet on the ground
