John Mayer's song GRAVITY - Can anyone explain what it means?!


Question:

John Mayer's song GRAVITY - Can anyone explain what it means?

It's a beautiful song. But I'm having difficulty pinning down what the meaning of the song is. I have some ideas, but I was wondering if anyone else might know. Here are the lyrics if you don't know the song:

"gravity is working against me
and gravity wants to bring me down

oh i'll never know what makes this man
with all the love that his heart can stand
dream of ways to throw it all away

oh gravity is working against me
and gravity wants to bring me down

oh twice as much aint twice as good
and can't sustain like a one half could
it's wanting more
that's gonna send me to my knees
(repeat)

oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
and gravity has taken better men than me (now how can that be?)

just keep me where the light is
just keep me where the light is
keep you all where the light is
just keep us where the light is
ohh.. where the light is! (repeat)"

Also, here is a link to listen the actual song:

Thanks for the help guys. I get it now. Funny... I get something totally different. As far as the hook goes, I see gravity as being the forces that keep you from achieving your dreams. But as itpertains to the other lyrics, the rest of the song- which is what was throwing me off- I see what he's saying now.
