Gravity
Keith Urban ft. John Mayer Lyrics

The song "Gravity" by Keith Urban ft. John Mayer is an introspective and deeply emotional examination of the struggle against the forces that drive a person down. The opening lines of the song immediately set the tone and theme of the song when Keith Urban sings "Gravity is working against me, And gravity wants to bring me down." Mayer comes in with the guitar solo to further highlight the weight of gravity. The song then builds to a crescendo with Urban singing of the conflict between the desire to love and be loved while at the same time wanting to resist and throw it all away.

The lyrics also point to the fact that sometimes, our own actions and desires may lead us down a path of self-destruction. Urban points out that "Twice as much ain't twice as good, And can't sustain like one half could, It's wanting more that's gonna send me to my knees." The idea of wanting more and more without being able to sustain it ultimately leads to a state of vulnerability and weakness. This is contrasted by the final chorus where Urban sings "Just keep me where the light is. Come on, keep me where the light is", calling for the strength to overcome the forces that he feels are dragging him down.

Overall, "Gravity" is a powerful song that speaks to universal experiences of struggle and vulnerability. The song is a great example of how music can capture the complexity and depth of human emotions in a way that simple words can't.
