Lyrics I love - Part 1

I am really into music, not just how it sounds, but the words. I truly get attached to lyrics. So many songs have touched my life in one way or another, and it was always at a time I truly needed to hear them.

Today on the train I heard the lyrcis to the song "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles, and it moved me. I am not sure what it is in the song that I relate to, it just gets to me right now, and I listened to it a few times. It was beautiful. So I am going to post them here, so you all can enjoy the words.

Music is the best therapy in my life.

Gravity

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do
I’ll still feel you here ’til the moment I’m gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much
than to drown in your love and not feel your rain.

[CHORUS]
Set me free, leave me be.
I don’t want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall,
just the way I’m supposed to be.
But you’re on to me and all over me.

You loved me ’cause I’m fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while
and all my fragile strength is gone.

Set me free, leave me be.
I don’t want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall,
just the way I’m supposed to be.
But you’re on to me and all over me.

I live here on my knees
as I try to make you see that you’re
everything I think I need here onThe ground.
But you’re neither friend nor foe
though I can’t seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you’re keeping me down
Your keeping me down,
Your on to me, your on to me and all over
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes to long…
