[Verse 1]
You slid in slow
With your cap in your hand
Said, "Man, I been slipping
Asking too much of the land"
Your voice came rough
Like a bottle on ice
And I knew right off
You'd been paying the price
You said your job went cold
Your girl packed light
And the whole damn week
Was a fight after fight
[Pre-Chorus]
I just sat there close
Let you empty it out
Said, "You can lean on me
That's what I'm for now"
[Chorus]
Gravity, don't let go
Not tonight, not now
Gravity, hold my friend down
Keep him here somehow
When the weight gets wild
And the floor falls through
Gravity, don't let go
I'm holdin' on to you (hold on to you)
[Verse 2]
You laughed at the rain
On the truck bed paint
Said, "I keep makin' a mess
Then I blame the same"
I passed you a glass
You stared at the burn
Said, "I don't need a cure
Just a place to turn"
And I said, "Brother, I know
How the dark gets loud"
We both got scars
We don't wear too proud
[Pre-Chorus]
So we talked past midnight
Till the hurt ran thin
And for one small while
You could breathe again
[Chorus]
Gravity, don't let go
Not tonight, not now
Gravity, hold my friend down
Keep him here somehow
When the weight gets wild
And the floor falls through
Gravity, don't let go
I'm holdin' on to you (hold on to you)
[Bridge]
If the whole world shakes
Let it shake outside
I'll be here with you
On the edge of the ride
You don't have to stand
When your knees are through
Some nights a friend
Is the only ground you knew (only ground you knew)
[Chorus]
Gravity, don't let go
Not tonight, not now
Gravity, hold my friend down
Keep him here somehow
When the weight gets wild
And the floor falls through
Gravity, don't let go
I'm holdin' on to you (hold on to you)
[Outro]
Hold on, brother
Hold on tight
There's still a dawn
On the other side
