Gravity
Josh Woodward Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All worn out and dreaming
You slept through the fall
I know you love this time of year
It always made you smile
Grace, I watched you breathing
But you were so weak
When I left that night I somehow knew
Your patient heart was finally through
But I never cried
I never cried
Everything falls for a reason
Gravity pulls it to earth
Everyone to a season
Everything falls into place
Witness the fall of Grace
Grace, none of us blamed you
Nobody shamed you
When we laid you down
Everyone was there, you know
Your folks, your friends, and me
But I never cried
I never cried

The lyrics of Gravity are a somber reflection on the gravity of loss and acceptance. The phrase 'everything falls for a reason' hints at the idea that there's a greater force at play and that everything happens for a reason. The singer watches 'the fall of Grace' and recognizes that life is not always fair, and death can come unannounced. Despite the pain caused by Grace's passing, there's a sense of peace in letting go.
The song is ultimately about the acceptance of mortality and the importance of living life to the fullest. The singer never cried and instead chose to honor Grace's memory by singing her a song.
