Gravity Remembers Me

[Verse 1 — airy pads, broken beat]
I stitch the silk where pressure shows
Feed every burner, check the ropes
A hundred miles of cloudless blue
You only see the leak I missed for you

[Pre-Chorus — tom build]
My map is folded in my shoe
We never fly where I would choose

[Chorus — soaring, double-time bass]
I keep the whole balloon afloat
While you complain about the view
I spend my breath on patching holes
There's none to spare for what I'd do
I'd cut the ropes and chase the dawn
Start with an empty basket, free
But there are passengers aboard
And gravity remembers me
(Remembers me, remembers me)

[Verse 2 — syncopated vocals]
You ask for sunrise after dark
I chase the wind and lose my spark

[Bridge — half-time]
The ground looks kind from way up here
How many lives are tied to fear?

[Outro — breathy harmonies]
I tie one knot, then count to three
And keep one dream beneath my feet
