I love me some Jenny Lewis, but there's no denying this is a good song, and she had it coming after My Pet Snakes. Everyone loves a good kiss-off song.
It could be coincidence, but the words 'gravity' and 'brute' stand out to me. Rilo Kiley fans should know that Jenny does lead vocals on Gravity, and that More Adventurous was released on Brute/Beaute records (I think their own label?).
As for Gravity, the lyrics allude to gravity as having karmic properties. The song ends with Jenny singing "You said that gravity was gonna do me in." I don't think Gravity is necessarily about Blake, but it's not too far off to think that he wrote that response bit with the song in mind. ("And if the gravity should ever bring you down, if we ever meet right back on the ground...)
