I put the glass on the table
But too close to the edge
I put the glass on the table
But too close to the edge
A gust of wind comes by
Or no wind
And gravity takes hold

I put my hand on your shoulder
And say oh no it broke
I put my hand on your left shoulder
And say oh no it broke
You say no, you broke it
And Gravity takes hold

I say it broke
And you say you broke it
I then repeat
And you say you’re wrong

And everything just echoes
While glass is on the floor. 

Gravity takes many forms
The straw weighs on the camel
Friendship is a fragile thing
When its slipping off the edge
You think forever is as simple as
Some paste along the handle
The future is uncharted and
We may have no control. 

Gravity takes hold
