Gravity

(album: 37 Channels - 2013)

Well you look across the water
Can't predict the bridge ahead
When the masses go to slaughter
I'm living life instead
And my regrets stand like a sidewalk
That's lining every road
That's holding stories with the footsteps
Of every story told
And life is always hard
It's gonna kick your little ass
My philosophy: don't live too slow
But don't you live too fast
Sometimes to get some clarity
You've got to take steps back
Everyone is out there
And they want a piece of it

But you, you hold me down
If life is gravity
Then you must be my ground
I won't say your name
I know who you are
I won't say your name

Looking back in time
Bruises you know I had a few
I don't think I would be here
But I am because of you
No matter what the future holds
Or hands that I've been given
In my life, you're my friend
And I'll always end up winning

But you, you hold me down
If life is gravity
Then you must be my ground
I won't say your name
I know who you are
I won't say your name

These material things in life we work to the bone for
While tending to ignore the things that are free
You know we tend to look past them, but it's everlasting
Listen, take a word of advice
There's a price that we all have to pay
When this life we have stops giving and starts taking away
From all of the things that we always take
For granted for goodness sakes

But you, you hold me down
If life is gravity
Then you must be my ground
I won't say your name
I know who you are
I won't say your name

But you, you hold me down
If life is gravity
Then you must be my ground
I won't say your name
I know who you are
I won't say your name

But you, you hold me down
If life is gravity
Then you must be my ground
I won't say your name
I know who you are
I won't say your name

But you, you hold me down
If life is gravity
Then you must be my ground
I won't say your name
I know who you are
I won't say your name
It's written in my heart
