Center of Gravity

Let me paint you a picture It's lonely and the ground has been withered away Away He is 16 And locked out his car and he's waiting For someone to call him home Him home And he sits there And dreams of a world Where the air is clear And there's freedom to roam away Away And his parents Still love each other And music Still finds its way back to him To him If I was the center of gravity Why would you let it all fall from me? If I was the balance to everything How could you keep me from reasoning? And the kids play 'Til the fall on their asses And dogs they Will run on right past us to the road again There they go again See your road, it whispers in vain Can't control the love which you name as your own Your own If I was the center of gravity Why would you let it all fall from me? If I was the balance to everything How could you keep me from reasoning? Someday I'll jump in this car And I'll drive to wherever you are To meet me To meet you
