John Mayer - Gravity Lyrics

John Mayer Lyrics

"Gravity"

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

Oh, gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down

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
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

Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
Oh gravity has taken better men than me (how can that be?)

Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where keep me where the light is (oh, oh)

John Mayer told the Daily Mail on the 21st of December 2007, "This song will grow up with me. You might get one of those in a lifetime. I've played 'Gravity' with both joy and sadness."

"Gravity" was included on three different releases: "Try!" (2005) with John Mayer Trio; "Continuum" (2006), where it was the third single from the album; the live album "Where The Light Is" (2008).

The singer said about this, "This is the most important song I've ever written. It's a time capsule song. I will listen to it every day of my life if I need to."

A live version of this song brought John Mayer the Grammy award for "Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance".
