Gravity is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter John Mayer. Released on September 12, 2006, the album features a blend of blues, rock, and pop music. The album has been praised by critics for its introspective lyrics and Mayer's guitar playing.
The album starts off with the title track "Gravity," which showcases Mayer's signature guitar playing and soulful vocals. The song sets the tone for the rest of the album, which is filled with heartfelt ballads such as "Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" and "Dreaming with a Broken Heart."
Mayer also experiments with different styles on the album, such as the bluesy "I Don't Trust Myself (With Loving You)" and the funky "Vultures." The album's lead single "Waiting on the World to Change" became a hit and is still a fan favorite.
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 ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like one have could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
Oh twice as much ain't twice as good
And can't sustain like one have could
It's wanting more
That's gonna send me to my knees
Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
Oh gravity has taken better men than me (how can that be?)
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
Just keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where the light is
C'mon keep me where keep me where the light is
