gravity

you truly are gravity..

i must say, i'm falling in love with sara bareilles. i first took notice of her first song to hit the airwaves - "love song." i thought i should listen to the rest of her songs. it was then that my love affair with her voice started. hers is a voice reminiscent of the soothing tori amos sounds and the melancholy sarah mclachlan's.

one of the tracks in her album - gravity - is now one of my favorites. the melody, the lyrics and the mix of tenderness, sadness, and hope in this song is pure genius and is hitting me right on the spot.
i searched on youtube for different versions of the song and i found this.

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.

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.

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to 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.

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.

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to 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.

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

ciao.
