Gravity Lyrics

I've had my fun
Had my day in the sun
Now my body's a map
Of a cracked Arizona

Time runnin' out
And I'm melting away
Melting away
I'm a human candle

If you see me comin', start runnin'
I'm the one you love
If you see me cryin', start lyin'
I'm the one you love

Failing to plead
With a throat full of dust
Life falls asleep
In a fetal position

My skull is an egg
Like a flash in the pan
A heavenly meal
For the animal angels

If you see me comin', start runnin'
I'm the one you love
If you see me cryin', start lyin'
I'm the one you love

Gravity pulls my face, pulls my skin
Gravity why so soon, what's the rush
Gravity pulls me down, underground
Gravity hunt me down, make the kill

If you see me comin', start runnin'
I'm the one you love
If you see me cryin', start lyin'
I'm the one you love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
