Well you look across the water Can't predict the bridge ahead When the masses go to slaughter I'm living life instead And my regrets stand like a sidewalk That's lining every road That's holding stories with the footsteps Of every story told And life is always hard It's gonna kick your little ass My philosophy: don't live too slow But don't you live too fast Sometimes to get some clarity You've got to take steps back Everyone is out there And they want a piece of it But you, you hold me down If life is gravity Then you must be my ground I won't say your name I know who you are I won't say your name Looking back in time Bruises you know I had a few I don't think I would be here But I am because of you No matter what the future holds Or hands that I've been given In my life, you're my friend And I'll always end up winning But you, you hold me down If life is gravity Then you must be my ground I won't say your name I know who you are I won't say your name These material things in life we work to the bone for While tending to ignore the things that are free You know we tend to look past them, but it's everlasting Listen, take a word of advice There's a price that we all have to pay When this life we have stops giving and starts taking away From all of the things that we always take For granted for goodness sakes But you, you hold me down If life is gravity Then you must be my ground I won't say your name I know who you are I won't say your name But you, you hold me down If life is gravity Then you must be my ground I won't say your name I know who you are I won't say your name But you, you hold me down If life is gravity Then you must be my ground I won't say your name I know who you are I won't say your name But you, you hold me down If life is gravity Then you must be my ground I won't say your name I know who you are I won't say your name It's written in my heart
