Gravity lyrics by John Mayer

Gravity is just a theory. Reality is real. Time is the master of illusion.

i think this song is about staying true to yourself...keeping in the light. he only talks about love once, and he's leaving it...to go on the road. gravity however weighs you down, and makes it so you can't fly to the dreams and aspirations you once had. "it's taken better men" who have fallen along the way...like Jimmy Hendrix, or SRV. so...the reality of life is gravity, working to break your dreams. so live in the light, in order to keep a strong eye on what you truely are and what you truely believe...no matter how crazy your life gets. (as i'm sure John Mayer's life is quite hecktic)

Gravity refers to a big, invisible force that controls us whether we like it or not, as we dwell on this earth. This force could refer to God, or it just might be trying to say that the world or fate is working against him, pulling him down.

The second part, i'm not sure about, but it seems as if there is a man who has so much love in his heart, but for some reason, he wants to throw it all away, in a sense wasting perfectly good love.

Twice as much aint twice as good, i think it means that loving a person more, or double than you already love that person, wont make the person love you in return. Twice as much love that you give won't sustain, or keep you happy, just like having half a love can't keep you happy.

He wants more love, but since no one can seem to give it to him, it tears at his heart, bringing him to his knees...

Keep me where the light is could mean many things. One could mean, keep me with God, or keep me where things are clear. It could also mean, keep me near the light of my life.

The tone of the song makes it a song of a longing heart.

he got a wakeup call when his girlfriend left him and relised that his world revovled around her, after the end he floated threw several far flung relationships that seemed artificial in comparson, he became obsesed with the past and hope with all his might it come become the future, but he isn't answered it never comes to light and he lives his life in discontent then onwards

my meaning of this song is that he's having a hard time in life and is just trying to get himself back on his feet wether it's a girl he's having a hard time about, or if it's family.. either or.. for me when i hear this song it's family hard times. when he says "just keep me where the light is" i think he's refering to the brighter (happier) times in life. he just wants everything to be okay. .

but that's just what i think. .:S. lol
