Giving in to Gravity

I'm giving in to gravity

The clouds, they got the best of me

I'm not the man I'd hoped I'd be

Nothing but heartache up my sleeves

I'm climbing down, hopping off the fence

Over a mountain, through a valley of evidence

For the common good, for common sense

Trading my past for the present tense

I'm giving in to gravity, I'm giving in to gravity

I'm giving in to gravity, I'm teaching myself how to breathe

I'm looking out beyond, I'm done with behind

Close my eyes for a little peace of mind

Time is a menace, time is a healer

Almighty time, make me a believer

With ringing ears and burned-out eyes

I dreamed of a tower under treacherous skies

The fire was raging, man, we were surrounded

Oh, it was palpable, I probably planned it

I'm giving in to gravity, I'm giving in to gravity

I'm giving in to gravity, one foot in front of the other, breathe, man, breathe

I painted a rocket, I hopped inside

Called the commander and said, “hey man, let's take her for a ride”

“Where will it be, son? What do you have in mind?”

“Let's take her out past the end of the line”

I'm giving in to gravity, I'm giving in to gravity

I'm giving in to gravity, one foot in front of the other, breathe, man, breathe

I'm giving in to gravity, I'm giving in to gravity

I'm giving in to gravity, I'm teaching myself how to breathe
