"Gravity" lyrics

"Gravity"

I didn't want to be the anchor in your heart
I only wanted you to notice me
If the universe is drifting further from itself each day
There isn't anything that I can say

It's not the weight of the world
It's just the way I am
You ever get so alone you never want it to end?
Sometimes it carries you out
Sometimes it buries you under
It's not the weight of the world
It's just the way that I am

I didn't mean to push you closer to the edge
But sometimes obsession gets the best of me
As our bodies lie there motionless while the silence fills the bay
There isn't anything that I can say

Sometimes it carries you out
Sometimes it buries you under
It's not the weight of the world
It's just the way that I'm
Married to the fall

There's a pressing darkness pooling underground
A calming endless sound
And I don't think I can fight it

Sometimes it carries you out
Sometimes it buries you under
It's not the weight of the world
It's just the way that I am
