Gravity


My heart would probably float to outer space,

If you weren't here to hold in its place,

I just want to help you see,

That you are my only gravity.

 

You hold me in your atmosphere,

I know you will always be here,

Every time I almost die,

You wipe the tears from my eyes.

 

Like a thousand planets, all aligned,

You're the only love that I can find,

When I begin to lose sight of me,

You become my gravity.

 

You pull me in despite the crossed stars,

You help me fix my broken heart,

When my payment is almost due,

You're my gravity, I can count on you.
