Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't stop now
Such a long time running
And I can't stop now
Do you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear the sound?
'Cause I can't help thinking
And I don't look down
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see
All the way that gravity turns for you and me
And then I looked up at the sky and saw the sun
And the way that gravity pulls on everyone
On everyone
Baby, it's been a long time waiting
Such a long, long time
And I can't stop smiling
No, I can't stop now
Do you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear the sound?
'Cause I can't help crying and I won't look down
And then I looked up at the sun and I could see
All the way that gravity turns you and me
And then I looked up at the sun and saw the sky
And the way that gravity pulls on you and I
On you and I
Can you hear my heart beating?
Oh do you hear that sound?
'Cause I can't help crying and I won't look down

The singer is overwhelmed by the feeling and can't stop their heart from beating, crying, and smiling. They feel like they have been running for a long time and can't stop now, and they don't want to look down from where they have reached.
The chorus of the song talks about gravity and its impact on everyone. The singer looks up at the sun and realizes how gravity turns everything, including ourselves, and how it pulls on everyone. It's a metaphor for the force of attraction, which can be physical or emotional. The singer is experiencing this force pulling them towards their goals, their dreams, or possibly, someone special.
The song can be interpreted in different ways, depending on the listener's perspective. It can be seen as a celebration of achieving something after a long time or a reminder to keep pushing towards your goals, to keep running towards your dreams.
