Subtle Gravity

You come in quiet like the night on my skin;

Heavy in the air, but you never rush in;

I feel the low and move when you speak my name;

Like a soap and it's fucking set us off with flame;

I don't need love to know it's real;

I am your truth in the way you feel;

Every small glimpse has more than pride;

We fall in step, no need to fight;

Hold me under that subtle gravity;

Let the dark hold what you mean to me;

No bright lights, just this steady beat;

You and I in the spaces between;

Pull me close with your quiet energy;

Let the whole world fade to memory;

If love is a weight, then carry me;

Down in your subtle gravity;

Late night messages with a half-lit globe;

Words in the margin, moving soft and slow;

You never ask for more than

I can give;

Still you make this empty city feel like it lives;

I don't need love to know it's real;

I hear your truth in the way you feel;

Cleanse us more than pride;

We fall in step, no need to fight;

Pull me under that subtle gravity;

Let the dark room hold what you mean to me;

No bright lights, just a steady beat;

You and I in the spaces between;

Pull me close with your quiet energy;

Let the whole world fade to memory;

If love is a weight, then carry me;

Down in your subtle gravity;

I've been moving slow, letting time refill;

What the heart can't hold when it's kept still;

No grand parade, no applause;

Perfect plan, just your hand in mine;

And a steady chance;

We don't have to chase what won't stay;

What's meant for us, we'll find a way;

Hold me under that sun;

Gravity let the doubt roam;

Oh, what you mean to me?

No bright lights, just this steady beat;

You and I in the spaces between;

Hold me, call it;

Quiet energy, let the whole world fade to memory;

Love is a weight, can't carry me;

Down in your subtle gravity, yeah;

Keep it low, keep it near;

I can hear forever when you're here;

Subtle gravity;

Subtle gravity;
