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 he's saying in it. 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:

Answers:
...Wow, your question was so thorough that I felt compelled to do some investigating...I found a youtube video where he talks about the story behind it...the video is very bad visual quality, but the audio is good and perhaps you can get your answer straight from the "horses mouth", sort to speak
