Gravity In My Veins

[Verse 1]
You were chalk on a blacktop
Rain came
Washed you thin
I was laughing in the bleachers
Never let you in
You said “one day you’ll get it”
I said “I’m doing fine”
Now your boxes in my hallway
Are the only straight lines
[Chorus]
Why does every road
Lead me back to what I broke?
I keep calling out your name
Like it’s carved into my throat
Yeah
You’re gone and I still stay
Staring down my own mistakes
You’re the one thing I can’t change
You’re the gravity in my veins
(oh, you’re the gravity in my veins)
[Verse 2]
Found your note in the dryer
Ink blurred
Edges torn
Said you hated all my silence
More than any shouted war
Now your coffee cup is waiting
By the faucet
Chipped and stained
Little ghosts in every cupboard
Saying I’m the one to blame
[Chorus]
Why does every road
Lead me back to what I broke?
I keep calling out your name
Like it’s carved into my throat
Yeah
You’re gone and I still stay
Staring down my own mistakes
You’re the one thing I can’t change
You’re the gravity in my veins
(woah, gravity in my veins)
[Bridge]
I swore I’d never be my father
Talking tough
Then walking out
But I watched you pack your armor
While I swallowed every shout
If you’re sleeping in some new life
Do you feel me pull you still?
‘Cause I’m anchored to the moment
Where I couldn’t say “I will”
[Chorus]
Why does every road
Lead me back to what I broke?
I keep calling out your name
Like it’s carved into my throat
Yeah
You’re gone and I still stay
Drowning in the mess I made
You’re the one thing I can’t change
You’re the gravity in my veins
(oh, you’re the gravity in my veins)
You’re the gravity in my veins
