I hate all this gravity Lyrics

[Chorus]
Honestly, I hate all this gravity
Bringing you so close to me
Hard to hide the way I feel
I want you all over me
I want you so close to me
I could give you all you need
But I think the moment's all gone
On my face, find it hard to concentrate
Different when I'm at your place
Send me into anti-space
Got a lot of things to say
Know that it would have to change
Why don't you just tell me straight?
Yeah, I think the moment's all gone

[Verse 1]
I need to breathe, I need to speak
I'm feeling weak, I'm feeling scared
All of the words, tip of my tongue
Tell you the truth, tell you I'm bruised
Tell you my thoughts, I'm not so strong
I wanna be up in the trees, just you and me
Blow me away up to the stars
Want you to know I want it all
Tension building way too long
[Chorus]
Honestly, I hate all this gravity
Bringing you so close to me
Hard to hide the way I feel
I want you all over me
I want you so close to me
I could give you all you need
But I think the moment's all gone
On my face, find it hard to concentrate
Different when I'm at your place
Send me into anti-space
Got a lot of things to say
Know that it would have to change
Why don't you just tell me straight?
Yeah, I think the moment's all gone

[Verse 2]
I never say, you're not okay
Set it off right now 'cus I don't have to look through your eyes
Does it give you pain? Does it bring you shame?
Maybe I'm projecting myself on your mind
Really hate the silence, think we got bad timing
Guess we both let this stuff weigh heavy on our minds
Wrap it in chains, sink it away
Guess we're the same
Tension building up way too long anyways
[Chorus]
Honestly, I hate all this gravity
Bringing you so close to me
Hard to hide the way I feel
I want you all over me
I want you so close to me
I could give you all you need
But I think the moment's all gone
On my face, find it hard to concentrate
Different when I'm at your place
Send me into anti-space
Got a lot of things to say
Know that it would have to change
Why don't you just tell me straight?
Yeah, I think the moment's all gone

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
