Gravity
Lyte Funky Ones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keeping my feet on the ground
Everytime you're around
I feel gravity and I don't know what to do
I keep on running from you
Put me on the cover of Rolling Stone
Tell me things that I like to hear
Like in the end you might still be near
Say you care and you won't let go
I'm in the world that I just don't know
Gimmie things that I need to fill me
Tell me this gravity won't kill me
And you don't have to cry for me
And you don't have to lie for me
This whole blue sky is falling down on me
I feel gravity holding me down
Keeping my feet on the ground
Every time you're around
I feel gravity and I don't know what to do
I keep on running from you
Put me on the cover of Rolling Stone
Full of dreams, can't come up short
Drive down south is my last resort
Let me shine on MTV
Say you're proud and happy for me
Look in my eyes, guess how I feel
'Cause now a days life is so surreal
Gimme all the things I need to fill me
Tell me this gravity won't kill me
And you don't have to cry for me
And you don't have to lie for me
This whole blue sky is falling down on me
I feel gravity holding me down
Keeping my feet on the ground
Every time you're around
I feel gravity and I don't know what to do
I keep on running from you
Put me on the cover of Rolling Stone
I feel gravity holding me down
Keeping my feet on the ground
Every time you're around
I feel gravity and I don't know what to do
I keep on running from you
Put me on the cover of Rolling Stone
I feel it, I'm talkin' 'bout gravity
