Gravity

Yours is an island of wild weeds and lush, tangled ground
Unbridled energy, all possibility
You pull yourself up on two feet that have not stood alone
Slowly and gingerly
Reaching with toes

It's hard the way
You look at me
With a rage I cannot place
But I'm not the enemy
I'll carry you through your pain

You can hide away
Hold your heart at bay
I know 
You wanna be loved
Though life will come apart
Break and unbreak your heart
I will be 
Like gravity, always true
(Mmm-mmm) I won't give up on you

For every two steps that go forward
There's one that crawls back
These are the highs and lows
Those who have been here know
But that doesn't stop us from marching back into the mire
Insult to injury 
And we breathe fire

It's hard, the way 
You look at me
With a rage I cannot place
But I'm not the enemy
I'll carry you through your pain

You can hide away
Hold your heart at bay
I know 
You wanna be loved
Though life will come apart
Break and unbreak your heart
I will be 
Like gravity, always true
(Mmm-mmm) I won't give up

Our love's not a race, only one of us wins
I pushed you so hard not to quit or give in
I look back now, past the anger and fear
You were suffering 
And you were all alone in it

So you can hide away
Hold your heart at bay
I know 
You wanna be loved
Though life will come apart
Break and unbreak your heart
I will be 
Like gravity, always true
(Mmm-mmm) I won't give up on you
I'll never give up on you
