As explained in Sara’s book, Sounds Like Me, this song is a about Sara’s relationship with her high school classmate LR, a popular sport star in the town. Sara used to live in insecurities because she used to get laughed for being fat and ugly until LR and she fell in love. There was so much chemist...
[Verse 1]
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
No matter what I say or do
I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone
[Verse 2]
You hold me without touch
You keep me without chains
I never wanted anything so much
Than to drown in your love and not feel your rain
[Chorus]
Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am, and I stand
So tall, just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
[Verse 3]
Oh, you loved me 'cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong
But you touch me for a little while
And all my fragile strength is gone
[Chorus]
Set me free, leave me be
I don't wanna fall another moment into your gravity
Here I am, and I stand
So tall, just the way I'm supposed to be
But you're on to me and all over me
[Bridge]
I live here on my knees
As I try to make you see
That you're everything I think I need here on the ground
But you're neither friend nor foe
Though I can't seem to let you go
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down
You're keeping me down, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're on to me, on to me, and all over
[Outro]
Something always brings me back to you
It never takes too long
