Peter Himmelman - Gravity Can't Keep My Spirit Down

[Verse 1]
It's a Friday morning, cold and grey
This time of year, I like it that way, do you?
I look in the mirror, and the man I see
So far from what I dreamed he'd be for you
How did I sink to the bottom of the jar?
Burned out and frozen like the light from a distant star
I'm trying to swim, but my arms and legs won't move me

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that silence is the last retreat
It won't surrender it won't give in to defeat, would you?
What is it worth? This temporary fix
You work a lifetime for this grubby bag of tricks
Now I need you, but you're nowhere near

[Chorus]
Gravity don't keep my spirit down
Gravity won't keep my spirit down
Gravity can't keep my spirit down
Only half of me is ever on the ground

[Verse 2]
I tried to reach you fifty timеs
But all my words and all my rhymes just flew
And evеry act of kindness knows the place to which we all must go, too soon
I wanna get back to the surface for a while, wanna hear a voice that causes me to smile
I know you're out there, and I'm coming to find you

[Chorus]
Gravity won't keep my spirit down
Gravity won't keep my spirit down
Gravity can't keep my spirit down
Only half of me is ever on the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
What is it worth? This temporary fix
You work a lifetime for this grubby bag of tricks
Now I need you, but you're nowhere near me

[Chorus]
Gravity won't keep my spirit down
Gravity won't keep my spirit down
Gravity can't keep my spirit down
Only half of me is ever on the ground
