Gravity by Sarah Bareilles

"...one thing that I still know, is that you're keeping me... down..."

When I first heard this, I was not sure how to decipher it as a happy song or a sad song. Well, obviously it has the marking melody of the sad song but some lyrics tend to settle on the good part. If you read and listen to the lyrics closely you would see that the composer was not actually mad or upset about the situation. She even had some good praises to whom she was referring to. It's like complaining yet stubbornly still with the person. And thus brilliantly she dubbed it 'GRAVITY"

Its an ironic song for my part since the composer is suggesting that she is madly in love with the person yet find it so hard to move on or go on since well, because she's in love. All the things you're inclined to do to move on seems to be ineffective because you're to stubborn to admit that you actually love the person and that for some reason as the lyrics suggested "something always brings me back to you..it never takes to long"

I think its a struggle for closure. A struggle to move on and get with life. To go and live the life without that significant person. As hard as it is, I kinda sympathize as to how hard that is.

GRAVITY by Sara Bareilles

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do
I still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much
than to drown in your love and not feel your reign.

Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall,
just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while
and all my fragile strength is gone.

I live here on my knees
as I try to make you see
that everything I think I need
is here on The ground.

But you're neither friend nor foe
though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know
is that you're keeping me down

Something always brings me back to you
It never takes to long
