[Verse 1] We're satellites in borrowed skies, Trading constellations through the night, For a moment I'm in your orbit, Like I finally found the light. Then another star begins to shine, You leave my atmosphere behind, I'm just another piece of dust, Floating where you used to find me. [Pre-Chorus] Every signal that I send Gets quieter with the distance, I keep calling through the silence, You keep chasing brighter systems. [Chorus] Gravity always wins. You drift where the light burns brightest, While I'm left spinning in the dark again. I was a planet for a minute, Now I'm debris upon the wind. You say the universe is endless, But somehow I never fit in. Gravity... always wins. [Verse 2] I know the names of every moon That circles people more than me. I trace your path across the black, But you're already galaxies away. I keep building little rockets Out of words you never hear, Launching hope into the vacuum, Watching every one disappear. [Bridge] Maybe I was never meant To orbit borrowed suns. Maybe there's another sky Where I don't have to outrun The pull of every brighter body Passing through your view— Maybe somewhere in the cosmos, Someone's gravity is true. [Final Chorus] But gravity always wins. You drift where the light burns brightest, While I'm left spinning in the dark again. I was a planet for a minute, Now I'm debris upon the wind. You say the universe is endless, But somehow I never fit in. Gravity... always wins.
