[Verse 1]
If your travels ever take you to sea
Well, then I'd say to you to dip in your feet
And if you battle the wind along the way
Well, then I tell you to challenge the waves
It's a world of peculiar people
And places that look nothing like home

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But it keeps turning, and turning even

[Chorus]
Though gravity happens
And we don't know it 'till after we've hit the ground
And the world's spinning faster
With each day that passes, and each dashing hour

[Post-Chorus]
What am I to do
When I've broken my parachute?
Well if gravity happens
Then I'll fasten wings to my shoes

[Verse 2]
I have gathered that the moments that shaped me
Were the ones that have tested my faith
All that matters is the courage they gave me
I fell down, my fears were erased
In the wreckage of heartache and hindsight
A new beginning starts to unfold
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If you let it, it just might save your life

[Chorus]
Because gravity happens
And we don't know it 'till after we've hit the ground
And the world's spinning faster
With each day that passes, and each dashing hour

[Post-Chorus]
What am I to do
When I've broken my parachute?
Well if gravity happens
Then I'll fasten wings to my shoes

[Bridge]
I'm not gonna let the world get me down, whoa
I've got so much more to live for
I'm starting right now, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh

[Chorus]
'Cause gravity happens
And we don't know it 'till after we've hit the ground
And the world's spinning faster
With each day that passes, and each dashing hour
[Outro]
What am I to do
When I've broken my parachute?
Well if gravity happens
Then I'll fasten wings to my shoes
