Gravity

We talked on the phone it's as it's always been

Say you wanna see me on my birthday and I'm teary again

You wanna take a road trip in an electric van

When you're not studying, will I be far away then?

Oh, it sounds like fun oh it sounds like fun

Pity it came undone because it sounds like fun

I say I'm fragile today, can't cope with social events

Seem to get so upset about the littlest things

So overcome by it all, lose sense of space and time

I know I didn't reply, but you were on my mind

Oh, what a shame it all didn't go to plan

We had wild dreams of a future

And we thought and we prayed

To anyone that might hear

And if we crossed our fingers it might just appear

And we'd wake up one bright day and see

We'd had our wishes granted

More than three

How didn't we see

We couldn't withstand gravity

We all believed in a dream where she was alive and well

No one told us she was falling down then one day she fell

Couldn't tell nobody in this whole damn world

Now we're drunk on the floor watching it all unfurl

Oh, what a shame it all didn't go to plan

We had wild dreams of a future

And we thought and we prayed

To anyone that might hear

And if we crossed our fingers it might just appear

And we'd wake up one bright day and see

We'd had our wishes granted

More than three

How didn't we see

We couldn't withstand gravity

Like a nightmare they said, it'd be over at the end of the night

It was just a matter of time

And if we said it enough, we could join all the stars in a line

With enough hope it'd all be alright

Oh, what a shame it all didn't go to plan

We had wild dreams of a future

And we thought and we prayed

To anyone that might hear

And if we crossed our fingers it might just appear

And we'd wake up one bright day and see

We'd had our wishes granted

More than three

How didn't we see

We couldn't withstand gravity
