Gravity
Matt Goss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been lost in the water like a rolling rock
My heart always felt incomplete
Like someone out there's waiting for me
I always said that I would
(It's a song for my baby, It's a song. It's a song for my baby)
Wait a while, wait until perfection comes
Wait a while, wait until perfection comes, And it comes
Gravity yeah it let's me fly
It keeps our love up in the clouds (Up in the clouds)
Gravity it feels good to fall
Into your life and solid ground
Ten minus touchdown, Ten minus touchdown

Oh my God it feels exactly just as good as I thought
You dried the streets where there once was rain
Now I know that love can never come too late
I always said that I would
(It's a song for my baby, It's a song. It's a song for my baby)
Wait a while, wait until perfection comes
Wait a, while, wait until perfection comes, And it comes

Gravity yeah it let's me fly
It keeps our love up in the clouds (Up in the clouds)
Gravity it feels good to fall
Into your life and solid ground
Ten minus touchdown, Ten minus touchdown

Yeah you complete my life, Yeah you complete my life
Yeah you complete my life, Yeah you complete my life

Gravity yeah it let's me fly
It keeps our love up in the clouds (Up in the clouds)
Gravity it feels good to fall
Into your life and solid ground
Ten minus touchdown, Ten minus touchdown

Gravity yeah it let's me fly
It keeps our love up in the clouds (Up in the clouds)
Gravity it feels good to fall




Into your life and solid ground
Ten minus touchdown, Ten minus touchdown

However, after meeting his partner, he feels that he has found the missing piece of his life and that he can fly, thanks to gravity.


Gravity, according to the lyrics, is what keeps their love up in the clouds and makes them feel as if they are falling into each other’s lives. They have both waited for perfection, and now they feel as if everything has come together. The chorus of the song is catchy and easy to sing along to, with lyrics that suggest how love can make us feel weightless and euphoric. The ending of the song hammers home the message of complete love, with Goss repeating the phrase “yeah you complete my life” several times.
