[Verse 1]
Still can't seem to figure out what happens in my head
The thought alone is gonna kill me
Sick of livin' with this doubt, this pistol in my hand
I could end it all before the mornin'
But summertime always gon' come around
I'll be waitin' for another smile that will lift my feet off the ground
Try and hold on
[Refrain 1]
Gravity won't let me go
This gravity won't let me go, oh, woah
This gravity won't let me go
[Vocalisations]
Ho—oh—woah—ho—ho
Ho—oh—ho—oh, ho—oh—ho—oh—oh
[Verse 2]
The Devil always smile when you need a friend
I'm layin' on this cloud, it's a long drive back to Earth
Wonder when my happy days will fade away
Don't rain on my parade, if it's only for this moment
[Refrain 2]
So gravity, let me go, so can you please let me go?
Let me go, oh, woah—oh
[Bridge]
Will you let me get higher, higher? I just wanna get higher, higher
Wanna get high, said I wanna get higher
Said I wanna get higher, let me get higher
I wanna get high, said I wanna get high
[Outro]
Oh, oh—oh, uh, uh—uh
Yeah, uh—uh, gravity, can you let me go?
