Gravity Happens

Kate Voegele Gravity Happens Lyrics
1.Say You're Mine

I bit my tongue for too long
My patience gets a bit thin
I gotta tell you the way that it is
I think you know this is something different we've started
We're more than ordinary
There's something about the way that the world looks
Brighter when I'm next to you

No one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you can just take take take your time
And I've been burning up like a wildfire
Wishing you would just say say say you're mine, mine
You're mine

Let's get ourselves outta town
We'll take the last train out
I got a million things I wanna know
It's easy baby with us there's nowhere we can't go
And this love it doesn't scare me
'Cause I'm running out of reasons not to feel this
I can tell you're dying to try

No one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you can just take take take your time
And I've been burning up like a wildfire
Wishing you would just say say say you're mine, mine
You're mine

Don't you wonder what it'd be like
Underneath the streetlights
You and me
With the city wrapped around us
If no one ever found us
It's fine with me

No one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you can just take take take your time

No one's gonna love you like I will
Darlin' you can just take take take your time
And I've been burning up like a wildfire
Wishing you would just say say say you're mine, mine
You're mine


2.Hundred Million Dollar Soul

We were young in the summer of some year I don't quite recall
But it feels like yesterday
I was teaching you guitar on the hood of your pick up under the
stars
You were in town for holiday

When you left I took a moment
I got a coffee and set off in my car
Just to be where you are

Well I had to drive all night
To get to you
I thought I'd lost my mind
But I just knew
That we would be so fine
And I was right
And now I know

It's no wonder that you're such a natural
You got everything I want from your head to your toes
And underneath that smile that has me sold
Is your hundred million dollar soul

Now we're sitting on the front porch with the only dinner I know
how to make
With a Neil Young record on
A boardgame by the fireside turns into a pillow fight as always
Oh this is where I belong

You had me up all night
Just like you do
I laugh so hard I cry
When I'm next to you
Your brightness is a virus
That lights up the room
And now I know

It's no wonder that you're such a natural
You got everything I want from your head to your toes
And underneath that smile that has me sold
Is your hundred million dollar soul

And when I feel your touch
I still get such a rush
Your body next to mine
Go on and drive me wild

It's no wonder that you're such a natural
You got everything I want from your head to your toes
And underneath that smile that has me sold
Is your hundred million dollar soul

It's no wonder that you're such a natural
You got everything I want from your head to your toes
And underneath that smile that has me sold
Is your hundred million dollar soul


3.Enough For Always

You dry my eyes with your long sleeve
Your sweatshirt's way too big on me, but it's perfect
You hate my taste in DVDs
When I let you drive the red GT I get nervous

But layin' in your arms is like the first snow
Delicate yet takes my breath away, oh
Say you're forever
Say that your heart's gonna stay

You're stubborn and I'm worse you know
But your smile is like that country road in Virginia
And you know you never let me win
In Nintendo and that's bullshit in my opinion, yea

But you can spin my bad days into pure gold
With just a touch of your hand on my waist
Say you're forever
Say that your heart's gonna stay

'Cause you, you're who I love
And ooh, this is enough for always

You asked to dance and I got shy
You said honey there's no time for excuses
Barefoot on Hermosa Beach
Oh we just let that ocean breeze be the music, yeah

'Cause you're the only thing worth coming home to
It's how I wanna end all of my days
Say you're forever
Say that your heart's gonna stay

You, you're who I love
And ooh, this is enough for always

You're the reason
This singing heart is beating
Love, it's easy now.
Summer evenings
Oh keep me like a secret
I won't let you down.

You're the reason
This singing heart is beating
Love, it's easy now.
Summer evenings
Oh keep me like a secret
I won't let you down.


4.Sunshine In My Sky

I want a violet bicycle, flip flops and sand between my toes
These are the beautiful things in life
So give me that off the shoulder dress
The one that the boys will not forget
I want just a little bit more from life

Maybe I should pack my bags and fly to Costa Rica
Put a flower in my hair a dancing senorita

Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Oh what a lovely day to be alive
These eyes are longing to see a sign of summer
Leave my cares in the breeze
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky

Let's go skinny dip tonight
Under the cotton candy skies
Would you if I asked you?
A campfire and a backyard ballgame
Fireflies and electric lemonade
And I can't keep my eyes off you

We could pack our bags and fly to Costa Rica
You could swing me low and call me Rosalita

Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Oh what a lovely day to be alive
These eyes are longing to see a sign of summer
Leave my cares in the breeze
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky

Wouldn't it be nice to know we
Could make a great escape to paradise
'Cause me I'm cold as ice
If you could wrap the sun around me
And lay me down safe and soundly
I would die

Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Oh what a lovely day to be alive
These eyes are longing to see a sign of summer
Leave my cares in the breeze
Oh put a little sunshine in my sky
Put a little sunshine in my sky


5.Heart In Chains

It's been a week since I've heard your voice now
You know it seems like a hundred years
It's hard to sleep, it's a bit alarming
I'm a mess when you're not here
And it's a simple curse
I'm not the first oh but it's a vicious hurt
And it just gets worse

Oh because you know me well
Like a child knows a mother's face
Oh and I don't have to tell you, you've got my heart
You've got my heart in chains
Tears on my pillowcase yeah yeah
I don't want it any other way

Your attention is my addiction
A roller-coaster of highs and lows
I need your venom, it's been in my system
Since the second we said hello
You love me deep but I'm incomplete
Baby every time you leave I get so weak

Oh because you know me well
Like a child knows a mother's face
Oh and I don't have to tell you, you've got my heart
You've got my heart in chains
Tears on my pillowcase yeah yeah
But I don't want it any other way, no no

Don't leave me helpless
Don't leave me lost
Don't leave me waiting
You're all I've got
Don't leave me helpless
Don't leave me lost
Don't leave me waiting
You're all I've got

Oh because you know me well
Like a child knows a mother's face
Oh and I don't have to tell you, you've got my heart
You've got my heart in chains
Tears on my pillowcase, yeah yeah
I don't want it any other way
You know me well
I don't want it any other way
You know me well
I don't want it any other way


6.Sandcastles

I got this ticket in my hand
And I got a long, long day ahead
And I got a hell of a lot of reasons to be sad
But I've got a hundred more that keep me coming back

I got these worn out red boots on
And I got a brand new favorite song
And I can name some people who'd say that I got it all wrong
But I know plenty more who've been there all along

I'd rather make sandcastles
Instead of these wide-world decisions
I knew, I knew it all was catching up to me, yeah

And I don't have a plan at all
But I got this six-string religion
And I do, I do believe a song can heal me
It's enough for me, yeah

I had this picture in my head
Of where I oughta be and when
But it's just like the good advice that John gave when he said,
'Life, it happens while we're busy making plans'

Now I'd rather make sandcastles
Instead of these wide-world decisions
I knew, I knew it all was catching up to me, yeah

And I don't have a plan at all
But I got this six-string religion
And I do, I do believe a song can heal me
It's enough for me, yeah

Where I'm laughing is where I'm home
But you know how fast it makes the time go
And there was nothing like the first time that I saw open road
And I wasn't terrified to ride it on my own

I got my heart in the right place
But that place is millions of miles away
And I suppose I never will know the perfect words to say
But I'll keep searching till they find me one fine day

I'd rather make sandcastles
Instead of these wide-world decisions
I knew, I knew it all was catching up to me, yeah

And I don't have a plan at all
But I got this six-string religion
And I do, I do believe a song can heal me
It's enough for me, yeah
Oh it's enough for me
Oh it's enough for me


7.Burning The Harbor

I don't know what to do
But stare into space
Wish I could shut my eyes

I used to sleep at night
I used to feel safe
And now I'm terrified

So take away this darkness in the air
It's like black flames are everywhere
Someone say there's hope on the way

Oh can you shake it down on the sea and rain down the water
Make it count can't you see our hearts are breaking under
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
Have you heard us screaming out?
We're burning the harbor

We took a holy place
We taught it violence
And called it efficiency

We've seen the hell it creates
But we've chosen silence
And kept it viciously

So take away this darkness in the air
It's like black flames are everywhere
Someone say there's hope on the way

Oh can you shake it down on the sea and rain down the water
Make it count can't you see our hearts are breaking under
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
Have you heard us screaming out?
We're burning the harbor

Maybe we need a second chance
Maybe it's out of our hands
Maybe it's time we take a stand

Oh can you shake it down on the sea and rain down the water
Make it count can't you see our hearts are breaking under
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
Have you heard us screaming out?

Oh can you shake it down on the sea and rain down the water
Make it count can't you see our hearts are breaking under
Rain down, rain down the water
Rain down, rain down the water
Have you heard us screaming out?
We're burning the harbor
We're burning the harbor
You know we're burning the harbor


8.Impatient Girl

I been holding on for eternity
Waiting on your love
I let you lead me on so perfectly
Well I think I've had enough
I'm tired of dancin' around it
I'm not wired that way
I'm getting fired up thinkin' about it
Gotta be honest

I ain't never been a patient girl baby
I ain't built like this
The way you're takin' your time has got me jumpin' ship
And I won't lie let's call this what it is
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish

I'm an impatient girl

Baby I'm allowed to want an answer now
Wouldn't you say that's fair
Can you help me out
'Cause I'm breaking down
Do you even care
That I'm losing my mind every minute
Don't you do me like that
Don't you know you're pushing my heart to the limit
Won't you listen

I ain't never been a patient girl baby
I ain't built like this
The way you're takin' your time has got me jumpin' ship
And I won't lie let's call this what it is
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish

I'm an impatient girl

And I won't spend the rest of my life
Hoping for a sign
You can't just leave me out to dry

Oh I ain't built like this
The way you're takin' your time has got me jumpin' ship
And I won't lie let's call this what it is
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish

Oh I ain't built like this
The way you're takin' your time has got me jumpin' ship
And I won't lie let's call this what it is
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish
I'm an impatient girl
I'm an impatient girl
An impatient girl waiting on an empty wish


9.Beg You To Fall

So you set out to find the sky like a rocketship
And from on this ground you looked so fine
You insisted you weren't drifting
That someday you'll be back to take me with you
But now you've better things to do

And I don't wanna stand here and beg you to fall
'Cause one day you'll see I was worth it all
And down on my knees ain't where I need to be
I'm gone, ain't gonna beg you to fall

Oh maybe one day you'll arrive
Like you never left
And find that while you were learning to fly
Well you taught me the best
Damn lesson
I will never waste a second on talking you into loving me
My breath is far too precious

And I don't wanna stand here and beg you to fall
'Cause one day you'll see I was worth it all
And down on my knees ain't where I need to be
I'm gone, ain't gonna beg you to fall...

For me if your heart's not in it
But could you make sure you break me gently
'Cause you're everything I've been living for
Well not anymore

And I don't wanna stand here and beg you to fall
'Cause one day you'll see that I'm worth it

And I don't wanna stand here and beg you to fall
'Cause one day you'll see I was worth it all
And down on my knees ain't where I need to be
I'm gone, ain't gonna beg you to fall
Don't wanna beg you to fall


10.Enjoy The Ride

Tell me where'd the day go
I'm lyin' wide awake wonderin'
How it escaped
The sun gone away
Lately there's a part of me
Thinkin' soon enough I'll be ten more years old
The next thing I know

Well I'm not about to let that happen
Call me drastic and old fashioned

I think it's time that we take a drive down the scenic route
Baby sitting round here and talking 'bout it, well it doesn't
count
Can we slow down and just take our time
Close our eyes and just enjoy the ride

I remember last year I told myself I'd take every picture and
chance
Like each day was my last
It's easy saying things like that
But life has got a way of distracting your dreams
And handing you worries

I'm not about to let that happen
Call me drastic and old fashioned

I think it's time that we set our sights on the here and now
Baby sitting round here and talking 'bout it doesn't count
Can we slow down and just take our time
Close our eyes and just enjoy the ride
Just enjoy the ride

Well, I think it's time that we set our sights on the here and
now
Baby sitting round here and talking 'bout, well it doesn't count
Can we slow down and just take our time
Oh, we slow down, just take our time
We just enjoy the ride
Just enjoy the ride
We just enjoy the ride
Just enjoy the ride
We just enjoy the ride


11.Gravity Happens

If your travels ever take you to sea
Then I'd say to you to dip in your feet
And if you battle the wind along the way
Then I'd tell you to challenge the waves

It's a world of peculiar people
And places that look nothing like home
But it keeps turning - and turning even though

Gravity happens...
And we don't know it till after we've hit the ground
The world's spinning faster
With each day that passes and each dashing hour
What am I to do? I've broken my parachute
So if gravity happens, then I'll fasten wings to my shoes

I have gathered that the moments that shaped me
Were the ones that have tested my faith
And all that matters is the courage they gave me
I fell down and my fears were erased

'Cause in the wreckage of heartache and hindsight
A new beginning starts to unfold
And if you let it, it just might save your life

Because gravity happens...
And we don't know it till after we've hit the ground
The world's spinning faster
With each day that passes and each dashing hour
What am I to do? I've broken my parachute
So if gravity happens, then I'll fasten wings to my shoes

I'm not gonna let the world get me down, no
I got so much more to live for
And I'm starting right now

Cause gravity happens...
And we don't know it till after we've hit the ground
The world's spinning faster
With each day that passes and each dashing hour
What am I to do? I've broken my parachute
So if gravity happens, then I'll fasten wings to my shoes


12.Unusual

I see the ghosts on the sidewalk, they're passing by
Everyone's wearing blinders, identical minds
Am I the only one who doesn't want to fall into line?
Am I?

I'll be pushing on when everyone turns around
Be going upstream when everyone's going down
In the center of the storm, but I still stand my ground
You can't change me 'cause I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna live by your rules
I don't wanna try to fit in
To be typical
I'm just gonna be who I am
I just wanna live in a world
In a world where unusual is beautiful

I see them move in the shadows
Just wanna blend in
Always changing their colors like chameleons
Isn't anybody comfortable in their own skin?

I'll be pushing on when everyone turns around
Be going upstream when everyone's going down
In the center of the storm, but I still stand my ground
You can't change me 'cause I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna live by your rules
I don't wanna try to fit in
To be typical
I'm just gonna be who I am
I just wanna live in a world
In a world where unusual is beautiful


I will find my way
And it won't be the same as yours
My voice will be heard
These are not just words
It's all I'm fighting for

I don't wanna be like you
I don't wanna live by your rules
I don't wanna try to fit in
To be typical
I'm just gonna be who I am
I just wanna live in a world
In a world where unusual is beautiful


13.All I See

Love is simple
It's the simple things that make me smile
It's clear as crystal
I'm right where I should be
You're one of a kind
I know it, you know it
It's all right love

Oh oh this is everything I need
Oh oh I feel beautiful and free
Oh I believe
Oh oh I'm in love with all I see
Oh I'm in love with all I see

There's a new moon
Shining on the sea
And in your eyes
I can see truth
Staring back at me
It shines so bright
I know it, you know it
And it's all right love

Oh oh this is everything I need
Oh oh I feel beautiful and free
Oh I believe
Oh oh I'm in love with all I see

Oh oh this is everything I need
Oh oh I feel beautiful and free
Oh I believe
Oh oh I'm in love with all I see
Oh I'm in love with all I see


14.High Road

All I can say is things didn't go as I planned
Seems every day I'm learning is out of my hands
And coming to terms is harder than ever before
When you would give anything to know what all of this is for

Well there are things that I cannot change now
But these are strings that I will untangle

So gimme a high road to rise up and follow
I'll keep my eyes closed and breathe
And gimme a tightrope to walk from the highest peak
And I'll never look down at my feet

Somebody said if you can let down your pride
You won't be afraid, fear's not a safe place to hide
And I was convinced I'd never win your love, no
I didn't see all I really needed was my own

And there are things that I cannot explain now
But it's not too late and I am so thankful

And I got a high road to rise up and follow
I'll keep my eyes closed and breathe
And gimme a tightrope to walk from the highest peak
And I'll never look down at my feet

I've been down enough times to know it's no good
And I'm working overtime just thinking I should
Carry all of this weight around
I'm finding out that I never could
I never could

So gimme a high road to rise up and follow
I'll keep my eyes closed and breathe
And gimme a tightrope to walk from the highest peak
And I'll never look down at my feet
Never look down at my feet


15.Counting The Ways

Oh my darling I'm so far in, I can't see my feet
Your water deep is washing over me
Fifty states must separate us but it only makes me see
How much you mean

When your whisper brought me outta my slumber
I stumbled under some kind of spell
Now the distance gives me reason to wonder
How I'll recover from our farewell

Cause these days, doesn't matter what you say
I'm a mess when you're away
And unless you come back,
I'll be one step closer to insane
It's enough to keep me lyin' wide awake
Counting the ways that I miss you babe

Complications, conversations, late into the night
I'm over the same old hello goodbye
So leave me speechless, I miss that feeling
With each lonely evening that goes by, I can't describe

Well San Francisco has a way with the summer
And fall does a number to New York City
But regardless of the season above us
You're doing something that's sure to get me

Cause these days, doesn't matter what you say
I'm a mess when you're away
And unless you come back,
I'll be one step closer to insane
It's enough to keep me lyin' wide awake
Counting the ways that I miss you babe

Save me, give my troubled heart
What it's been aching daily for
I'm hoping, you know me enough to see
That I can't be alone anymore

These days, doesn't matter what you say
I'm a mess when you're away
And unless you come back,
I'll be one step closer to insane
It's enough to keep me lyin' wide awake
Counting the ways that I miss you babe, ooh-oh
Counting the ways I miss you babe


16.Ship In The Dock

Tuesday at 2 AM long after you said goodnight
I put the coffee on, strong and I bought me some time
The roses you left me were dead on the desk to my right
A subtle reminder that nothing's designed to survive

Love overcome is a battle half won
The view from both sides of the gun

I'm so afraid to be ready
To change all these locks
To disconnect the dots,
And I just can't take the pain
Although make no mistake
'Cause it's time I untied all the knots
'Cause if there's one thing I know that I'm not
Well that's a ship in the dock

The wind's packing up and I'm looking above for a sign
Your photograph hanging a moment just clinging to life
But I've seen the top of those trees on the opposite side
And if the grass isn't greener
Then I'll know at least that I tried

Cause I won't let myself live in this world of what ifs
But it don't get much harder than this

I'm so afraid to be ready
To change all these locks
To disconnect the dots,
And I just can't take the pain
Although make no mistake
'Cause it's time I untied all the knots
'Cause if there's one thing I know that I'm not
That's a ship in the dock

And I'm so afraid to be ready
To change all these locks
To disconnect the dots,
And I just can't take the pain
Although make no mistake
'Cause it's time I untied all the knots
'Cause if there's one thing I know that I'm not
That's a ship in the dock

I know what I'm not
And that's a ship in the dock
