gravity is so weak

Lyrics

gravity is so weak and our galaxy so large
yet it keeps, us all in this ellipse around our star

for it doesn't relent and it won't give in
for it is not opposed and it won’t rescind
 
like god's voice
so soft so soft i don't hear it speak
in my dreams in my thoughts my thoughts in the quiet that i keep

but it does not decay and it won't give in
for it is not absorbed and it always forgives

like our love
so faint so faint that we don't feel it live
in our arms in our legs my on the surface of our skin

but we’re oh so kind and we won’t give in
for I’ll not boast and we’ll always forgive

like our love
like our love
like our love
like our love
like our love
like our love
like our love
like our love 
our love 
our love

it took me a couple of days, but now i'm way into this. i have to say, listening to the more challenging bicycle day material has really broadened by tastes, so i am able to approach something like this with enthusiasm now, where once that wouldn't have been the case. i like the starkness of it, i like how unpredictable it is. i think the melody is easy to follow and it grounds the song enough that the keyboard craziness can be additive instead of distracting. i like how you sing it so softly. more than anything else, this sounds like a lullaby... some kind of lullaby for machines, explaining to them about love because they don't understand it. i'm not as blown away by this one lyrically as i have been by the last few, but the words work with the melody, so i shan't complain. also, i am into the use of "decay", since it sounds like "DK", as did Sara's use of the word in "When He Goes".
