What is “Gravity” about?
"Gravity" uses the language of space to describe being found, as a narrator drifting alone among millions of stars is pulled back to earth by someone. Her eyes govern his tides like the moon, and a love he feared would weigh him down instead puts his feet back on the ground. However far he runs or climbs, the pull brings him back every time. As track fifteen on Paraíso, it returns the album to romance after the anthems of Kingdom and No Limits.
Gravity lyrics
(Gravity...)
I was floating through the universe alone
Millions of stars but none of them felt like home
Then you showed up like a force I can't explain
Pulled me closer, now I'll never be the same
Your eyes are like the moon controlling tides
I surrender, there's no place left to hide
No matter how far I run
No matter how high I climb
You pull me back every time
Like gravity
You're my gravity
Keeping me where I need to be
I was lost in space
Till you gave me a place to breathe
You're my gravity
Pulling me closer endlessly
I don't wanna fight it
You're my gravity
Every word you say is like a lullaby
Calming every storm that's raging deep inside
I used to think that love would weigh me down
But with you I feel my feet back on the ground
You're the center of my universe, it's true
Every orbit leads me back to you
No matter how far I run
No matter how high I climb
You pull me back every time
Like gravity
You're my gravity
Keeping me where I need to be
I was lost in space
Till you gave me a place to breathe
You're my gravity
Pulling me closer endlessly
I don't wanna fight it
You're my gravity
I could search the whole world
Cross a thousand seas
But the only place I wanna land
Is right here next to me
You're the force that holds me
The reason that I stay
You're my gravity
Keeping me where I need to be
I was lost in space
Till you gave me a place to breathe
Pulling me closer endlessly
I don't wanna fight it
You're my gravity
(Gravity...)
(You're everything)
