Gravity
Josh and Jb Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got my share of scars on those ol' monkey bars
Every time I'd hit the ground
On that long dirt road, my bike lost control
And once again I was fallin' down
Every time I'd try to fly, there's a force I can't deny
Gravity

Grew to be six foot one, depended on no one
Yeah, I was my own man
Invincible and strong until you came along
And touched me with your gentle hand
When I look into your eyes, there's a force I can't deny
Gravity

Well, I never really liked it much
Always left me all scraped up
Never really saw it as a good thing
Changes tides out on the sea
Pulled your body close to me
First time I ain't been afraid to fall
Don't guess it's so bad after all
Gravity

Well, I never really liked it much
Always left me all scraped up
Never really saw it as a good thing
Changes tides out on the sea
Pulled your body close to me
First time I ain't been afraid to fall
Don't guess it's so bad after all
Gravity





Gravity
Mmm, gravity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Josh and Jb's song Gravity speak about the force of gravity and its impact on our lives. The song begins with the singer reminiscing about his childhood memories, where every time he tried to fly, he would always end up falling due to the force of gravity. As he grew older, he learned to depend on himself and thought he was invincible until he falls for someone who touches him with their gentle hand. When he looks into their eyes, he still feels the force of gravity.


The singer never liked gravity much; it only left him scraped up and wounded from his childhood memories. However, when he is in the embrace of his love interest, he no longer fears falling. The song paints gravity as a force that can be both good and bad, like the changing tides out on the sea. Nevertheless, he concludes with the line "Don't guess it's so bad after all."


The song's message is about how the force of gravity is omnipresent and impacts us in different ways, but it's important to embrace it and not fear falling. The singer's relationship with his love interest becomes the gravity that grounds him and stops him from falling.
