Gravity
Freakwater Lyrics

I wasn't drinking to forget,
I was attempting to remember instead of forgetting everything,

I was drinking to remember
I consumed alcohol to try to vividly recall how I might have looked to an outsider,

How I once might have looked
My appearance as perceived by a stranger is what I aimed to remember,

Through the eyes of a stranger
The perspective of someone who doesn't know me is what I tried to recollect,

When all hope should be gone
Despite despondency, aspirations still linger,

Still the dream somehow lingers
The desire manages to persist like the ghost of a snowstorm in frostbitten fingers,

Like the ghost of a snowstorm
The persistent longing is similar to the ghost of a snowstorm,

In frostbitten fingers
Cold, numb fingers illustrate how the dream is still present despite the hopelessness,

Ten thousand backwards glances
Looking back repetitively won't provide another chance,

Won't bring second chances
Repeatedly reflecting over previous mistakes won't offer a new opportunity,

I never knew I was wasted,
I was unaware of how intoxicated I was,

I was way too far gone
I drank too much and became too intoxicated,

The face I think is mine
The face that I believe to be mine,

Is not the face that I see
Is not what I see when I look in the mirror,

The worried face in the mirror
The concerned expression that the mirror displays,

Whose worried eyes are fixed on me
Whose anxious gaze is directed towards me,

All your beauty will be stolen
Your attractiveness will be taken away from you,

By young girls in the night
Girls who are young will be the ones depriving you of your beauty at night,

A thief as quiet as a dark cloud
The thief who steals beauty is sneaky and silent like a dark cloud,

That's stole away the moonlight
That took the light of the moon with it,
