lyrics

Can I make it another mile?
Do I even know where I'm heading?
This path that I chose
keeps leading me back
to a place where I've already been.
Is god playing tricks on me?
Has failure become an option?
I wish somebody would come along and
show me all the parts that
I've somehow been missing.

Because the tragedy of gravity
is the weight of this world holds me down
from where I thought I'd be,
when I ought to be
anywhere but this town.

Is it possible to get a timeout?
Do the rules ever get to change?
Nothing left to lose,
you hit the snooze
too many times and now you're running late.
Is it gonna kill you to give it one more try
or have you already cashed in your chips?
It's hard to walk away,
when the real pay
is that lingering presence of a simple twist of fate.

Because the tragedy of gravity
is the weight of this world holds me down
from where I thought I'd be,
when I ought to be
anywhere but this town.

Pick me up, pick me up, I'm ready to go.
Pick me up, pick me up, I'm ready to go.
Pick me up, pick me up, I'm ready to go.

So pick me up - I'm falling. I'm falling.
So pick me up - I'm falling. I'm falling.
I've tried and I've tried but all I seem to find,
with every passing day, I'm running out of time.
I need something else to turn this heart of mine around.

Because the tragedy of gravity
is the weight of this world holds me down
from where I thought I'd be,
when I ought to be
anywhere but this town.
