Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
Oh I'll never know what makes this man
With all the love that his heart can stand
Dream of ways to throw it all away
Oh Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/john_mayer/gravity.html ]
Oh twice as much aint twice as good
And can't sustain like a one half could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
(Repeat)
Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
Oh gravity has taken better men than me how can thet be?
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Come on keep me where the light is
Come on keep me where the light is
Come on keep me where, keep me where the light is

Day to day life and temptations work against us to bring us down every single day we are on the planet. Making the right decisions is key... Thats why he says "what makes a man dream of ways to throw it all away" if we don't fight gravity (the weight of the world) pulling us down and if we don't stay in the light, it will get us... "it's taken better men than me... How can that be" if we don't stay where the light is, the cares of the world will surely take us down...

Mayer is telling that he is free and without anyone holding him back... But that has changed and now gravity is working against him by bringing him down

It's clearly about how he has a tendency towards self destruction. He has "all the love his heart can stand", but he's ruining it for himself. The second verse is about how though he has all that he could want (fame, money, women), it's no good, and there's a void he can't fill, that's bringing him down. These forces (his self destruction and the "richness" he's missing in life) are characterized as gravity.

In my eyes, gravity is used as a metaphor to symbolize life. Life is pushing against him. Life wants to bring him down. He says "gravity has taken better men than me" saying life has been able to cheat "smarter" people, and succeeded. That's why he says, "how could this be? " he compares life to gravity because they are both invisible, both always there, and both can change your relationship with earth. It' a beautiful song, really.

It means that he's trying to forget the pain, regrets and poor decisions, but the weight of guilt and life are keeping him down.
