Gravity Blues

Gravity Blues

i hitched a ride on a shooting star
headed out into the blue
But gravity pulls me back to where you are
still i can’t get any closer to you

i guess that’s why they call it gravity
it’s like destiny
you got a hold on me
i keep falling toward you endlessly
but i can’t get any closer to you

if i told you you’re the sun to me
my orbit always stays true
if i said you’re the only light i see
would it bring me closer to you?

you got me spinning through day and night
through black and white
through wrong and right
and i can’t get you out of my sight
but i can’t get any closer to you.

all this circling that i do is in vain
you’re always so far away
gravity holds me like a ball and chain
i can’t get any closer this way

i guess that’s why they call it gravity
it’s like destiny
you got a hold on me
i keep falling toward you endlessly
but i can’t any get closer to you
no, i can’t get any closer to you
