9 Point 8 Lyrics Gravity won't leave me alone
It keeps on hanging on to my boots, my shoes, my brother
Cause I try to be patient with it
It says I've got no friends, it says I just don't fit
Gravity won't give me space
It's in my face, and it stands too close, and talks too much
Someboday could you help me out
Could you hold gravity back cause it's been pulling me down
I've got to decide if I'm going to fly
Or let gravity keep me grounded
And you, you're like the air
So free from gravity's snare
When I'm afraid to move, you spring the truth
Now it's no secret, gravity can't hold me
Gravity always makes a mess
Sure it shares burnt toast, sure it shares bad breath
But maybe, maybe, if I stand up this time
Gravity will see it's not a friend of mine
I've got to decide if I'm going to fly
Or let gravity keep me grounded
And you, you're like the air
So free from gravity's snare
When I'm afraid to move, you spring the truth
Now it's no secret, gravity can't hold me
Gravity why does it pick on me
Why won't it go home
Too bad about it's best moves
Cause they're all old school
Cause he replaces my tripping days with grace.

"9 Point 8 Meters Per Second Squared is the full title but that's too much to say. The idea is gravity has always contributed to so many falls." - Riley Armstrong
