The day before you left I wanted you to go*
I wanted to be out of reach and out of your control
But now I'm like a shooting star without a place to go
Just lost out here in the atmosphere

[Chorus:]
Gravity, gravity
Why did you let go of me?
I was king, I was king
With all my dreams on fire, I couldn't go much higher
Yeah, everything was fine with me

You can't understand how fast this world spins you around
Until you lose the only thing that barely holds you down
But now the water's rising and I'm about to drown
Yeah, I'm going down, where are you now?

Chorus

Slowing falling far away from me
You never feel it when it happens gradually... gradually
Why did you let go of me?
I was king, Oh gravity
The sun on the horizon has set my heart on fire
I need you to come back to me
I want you to come back to me
