GravityJohn Mayer

This is a signature song by John Mayer, often called one of the three great contemporary guitarists.
There’s a theory that the “Gravity” in the intro and title refers to a woman.
(There are various interpretations, and Mayer himself hasn’t commented.) The song expresses the feeling of wanting to leave but being unable to.
If you interpret it as about a woman, it turns into a passionate love song.
