"Gravity" lyrics

"Gravity"

Yours is an island of wild weeds and lush, tangled ground
Unbridled energy, all possibility
You pull yourself up on two feet that have not stood alone
Slowly and gingerly
Reaching with toes

It's hard, the way you look at me
With a rage I cannot place
But I'm not the enemy
I'll carry you through your pain

You can hide away, hold your heart at bay
I know you wanna be loved
Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart
I will be like gravity, always true
I won't give up on you

For every two steps that go forward, there's one that crawls back
These are the highs and lows
Those who have been here know
But that doesn't stop us from marching back into the mire
Insult to injury and we breathe fire

It's hard, the way you look at me
With a rage I cannot place
But I'm not the enemy
I'll carry you through your pain

You can hide away, hold your heart at bay
I know you wanna be loved
Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart
I will be like gravity, always true
I won't give up

Our love's not a race, only one of us wins
I pushed you so hard not to quit or give in
I look back now, past the anger and fear
You were suffering and you were all alone in it

So you can hide away, hold your heart at bay
I know you wanna be loved
Though life will come apart, break and unbreak your heart
I will be like gravity, always true
I won't give up on you
I'll never give up on you
