[Verse 1] He pulled up in a dust cloud Boots hit the ground All nerve and drawl The hero rides in breathless Like he’d outrun every wreck And won every barroom brawl That cowboy smile said trouble And a future she could almost taste Moss-painted fences leaning Framing every bad decision she would make [Chorus] As if gravity had no law They fell faster than they should The sunset was fire reflected in her eyes Reaching and resolute She took his hand that night As if gravity had no law They were hanging in a pause They were grasping at the moonlight So he kissed her like the world was all his [Verse 2] She’d been counting years in teardrops His hands were callused from secondhand dreams He asked all the important questions Her laughter was a butterfly in the breeze He said “You ever see the ocean?” She said “Only in my dreams” So they climbed into his tired old truck And her laugh spilled out and caught him Like a promise he always meant to keep [Chorus] As if gravity had no law They fell faster than they should The sunset was fire reflected in her eyes Reaching and resolute She took his hand that night As if gravity had no law They were hanging in a pause They were grasping at the moonlight So he kissed her like the world was all his [Bridge] Wind in their faces Town getting small in the rearview glass Nothing to save them Except the faith that they could make it last (oh) [Chorus] As if gravity had no law They fell faster than they should The sunset was fire reflected in her eyes Reaching and resolute She took his hand that night As if gravity had no law They were hanging in a pause They were grasping at the moonlight On that road past moss-painted fences Driving blind He held her like the world was on the line
