Gravity Off

Three, two, one, we cut the past

Gravity off, off, off
Speakers take the weight when the beat drops
Gravity off, off, off
Feet on the floor but the whole room lifts

I clocked out late with the blue-screen glow
Still tattooed across my eyes
Elevator mirror had a tired face
Practising a Saturday smile
You pulled up laughing in a red old car
With a cracked-back speaker and a front-seat beat
Now we're on a roof with paper cups
And the workweek's falling off my feet

Don't ask where the morning goes
We'll meet it when it comes
If your chest still holds a thundercloud
Shake it to the drum

Gravity off, off, off
Speakers take the weight when the beat drops
Gravity off, off, off
Feet on the floor but the whole room lifts

Oh-oh, lift it higher, higher
Tell the city: gravity off

By midnight we're down at the shoreline
Phone on silent, salt in your hair
Food-truck lights blink pink and yellow
Somebody's auntie starts a line out there
No VIP, just a barefoot choir
Turning hard luck into shine
I see the shy ones move their shoulders
And the cool ones lose their time

Don't ask where the morning goes
We'll meet it when it comes
If your chest still holds a thundercloud
Shake it to the drum

Gravity off, off, off
Speakers take the weight when the beat drops
Gravity off, off, off
Feet on the floor but the whole room lifts

I used to think escape meant leaving
All the people I used to be
By the rooftop glass I learned it
Joy can hand them back to me

Rooftop, three! Shoreline, two!
Whole city lands on the one
Off, off, off, gravity off

Gravity off, off, off
Off, off, off, gravity off
Gravity off, off, off
Speakers take the weight when the beat drops
Gravity off, off, off
Feet on the floor but the whole room lifts

Oh-oh, lighter, lighter
Gravity off
