Nothing But Gravity

There ain't nothing but gravity holding me here
I'll up and away at dawn
All the days of my life
So empty and light
Do nothing to weigh me back down

Some people have strings webbing them to each other
But I've snipped all those away
I've been petty and rough
With the people I love
Till not a one of them would care if I stay

I've got dreams in my head and a song in my heart
And things I'll have left undone
But half-spun stories
And hollow glories
Will fade quickly once I'm gone

There ain't nothing but gravity holding me here
Don't try to convince otherwise
And if ever gravity
Were to lose its grip on me
You know I'd be lost to the skies
