Gravity lyrics by John Mayer

mmmm...its so amazing reading Johns lyrics, hes so complex, but thats why we love him i guess, anyway, i think on the whole, its about helpless feelings of depression, putting him in a place where he loses something precious, as a result of his state of mind, and melancholy, but also about the confusion of the whole 'why is the grass always greener on the other side ' thing?
Also too, maybe about how daunting it is to actually be totally happy, and not finding solace and contentment in that, but how being in a good place with everything in life, has adverse affects on him, like its scary to have everything you want, because theres nothing else left to wish for?

Its amazing how thers a relatively small quantity of lyrics, yet they are open to such wide interpretation!!! John is a godamn genius, god bless him for writing such amazing material.

This song is a good soul felt expression about life. Aging is a delicate and beautiful thing but it dont always end up how we plan or dream. We get disappointed in love, in friends and family, and in ourselves. Sometimes we want to be more than what we are... be a better person, wish we had lived a better life, go back and change mistakes even, but 'gravity' keeps us where we are, with who we are and with what we have. Sometime its despairing to live and to love and we want to run away...Love more than anything can rip a person to pieces and leave them empty when its over...but we cant get away from it. Its life! The wheel keeps turnin through the good and the bad.

This song is about break ups, and that feeling you get when you see the other person is doing good and your not. and how that feeling makes you feel " the weight on your shoulders is like gravity" his relationship with the girl wasn't a good one and he wanted to end it but he still loves her. he states "can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more That's gonna send me to my knees" he's saying that she can sustain the break up (one half could) and it's wanting more, (wanting her back) that's bringing him to his knees. he's stating he wants to be away from it and gravity(the feelings) is working against him. and he just wants to be away from it.

I think this song represents the cycle of life. As of right now life is that of a young person who realizes that one day he and the people of his generation will be facing the inevitable occurrence of aging. and "Gravity" refers to the sense that life sometimes will bring you down thus making you age further. When he says "just keep me where the light is" he means take the day as it comes and dont give up on yourself

that was supposed to say very good perseption...BTW, I mistyped ECONOMY
