Lyrics

[Chorus]
Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
[Verse 1]
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?
[Chorus]
Whoa, whoa
Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
[Verse 2]
Oh, twice as much
Ain't twice as good
And can't sustain
Like one half could
It's wanting more that's gonna send me to my knees
[Verse 3]
Oh, twice as much
Ain't twice as good
And can't sustain
Like one half could
It's wanting more that's gonna send me to my knees
[Chorus]
Whoa-oh
Gravity, stay the hell away from me
Whoa, whoa
Gravity has taken better men than me
How can that be?
[Bridge]
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, now, keep me where the light is
