Gravity in Reverse

I'm falling up

Same gray stairs to the morning train
Same wet sleeves in the windowpane
But your little note in my jacket seam
Keeps interrupting everything
I take the steps I used to drag
Tap out a rhythm on the paper bag
Still got the rent and the Monday rain
They don't sit in my chest the same

You didn't make the hard things disappear
You made a little room for me in here

Gravity in reverse, I'm falling up
A little touch from you and the weight comes off
Gravity in reverse, from the ground to the blue
The world still weighs the same; I'm lighter with you

Falling up
A little lighter with you

Tonight you barely make a sound
Your bag drops heavy to the ground
You say the meeting went all wrong
I turn the radio to our song
I don't say, "See, it isn't bad"
I let you tell me every part of that
Then hold my hand out, palm turned high
You give me one small step to try

Gravity in reverse, I'm falling up
A little touch from you and the weight comes off
Gravity in reverse, from the ground to the blue
The world still weighs the same; I'm lighter with you

We haven't changed the rules of living
The bills still wait, the trains still run
But even on the heavy evenings
There's room enough to move as one

Gravity in reverse, we're falling up
A little room for both of us is more than enough
Gravity in reverse, let the day come through
The world still weighs the same; we're lighter, me and you

Gravity in reverse
A little lighter with you
