Gravity
Blondie Lyrics

I'm just sitting here in my treetop
I'm in a state of limbo and I'm not quite sure what to do next.

I'm just swing, swing, swinging away
I'm trying to distract myself from the confusion and anxiety I feel by focusing on something safe and familiar.

Feel so magical, feel so lost
I'm caught between longing for something amazing and feeling like I'm completely off-track.

Will you catch me on my way down?
I'm hoping that someone will be there to save me if things take a turn for the worse.

I drank your cherry cola
I was willing to try something new and exciting.

I let you win me over
I let myself fall for someone who seemed charming and fun, even though I knew deep down it might not be a good idea.

You're nicer when you're sober
I'm starting to realize that the person I'm with has a dark side, and that their charm might be a facade.

Please just tell me
I'm feeling confused and overwhelmed, and I need someone to help me make sense of things.

What makes the world go 'round?
I'm wondering what really matters in life, and what motivates people to do the things they do.

Is it love, oh
I'm considering whether love can be the answer to my questions.

Is it love, oh-oh
I'm feeling unsure and a bit lost, and I'm searching for something to hold onto.

Is it love, oh
I'm trying to hold onto the possibility that love could be the answer.

Or is it gravity?
I'm considering whether the forces of nature, like gravity, are what really drive people's behavior.

You chewed my heart and spat it out
I've been hurt by someone and I feel like they don't care about me at all.

Now you're run, run, running away
The person I've fallen for is leaving, and I feel like they've left me behind.

You didn't pick me off the floor
I'm realizing that the person I was with wasn't willing to support me when I needed it most.

You didn't catch me on my way down
I'm feeling let down by the person I was counting on.

My pretty mouth is open
I have a lot to say, but I'm not sure how to express my thoughts and feelings.

My words just keep on flowing
Once I start talking, I can't seem to stop.

I'm nicer when I'm sober
I'm starting to understand that I make better decisions when I'm not caught up in a whirlwind of emotions.

Is it, is it gravity?
I'm still trying to figure out what really motivates people to act the way they do.

I've been sitting here in my treetop
I'm still at a crossroads, and I'm not sure what my next move should be.

For a long time now, I'm not coming down
I'm starting to wonder whether I'll ever be able to move forward or escape the cycle of confusion and uncertainty.

You see, I've been sitting here
I've been trying to make sense of things for a while now, and I still haven't found the answers I'm looking for.

Is it gravity?
I'm back to wondering whether the forces of nature, like gravity, are what really dictate our lives in the end.
