Honey, it's been a long time coming
And I can't stop now.
Such a long time running
And I can't stop now.
Do you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear the sound?
Cause I can't help thinking
And I don't look down.

And then I looked up at the sun and I could see
All the way that gravity turns for you and me.
And then I looked up at the sky and saw the sun
And the way that gravity pulls on everyone.
On everyone.

Lately, it's been a long time waiting.
Such a long, long time.
And I can't stop smiling.
No, I can't stop now.
Do you hear my heart beating?
Can you hear the sound?
Cause I can't help crying and I won't look down.

And then I looked up at the sun and I could see
All the way that gravity turns you and me.
And then I looked up at the sun and saw the sky
And the way that gravity pulls on you and I.
On you and I.

Can you hear my heart beating?
Oh do you hear that sound?
Cause I can't help crying and I won't look down.

    General Comment:I think this song is about 2 friends who haf not met in a long long time like for many yrs.There used to have good chemistry between the 2 of them but bcoz they were both committed to someone else at tat point in time,nothing could happen.However one fine day in one fine country they meet up again.After many yrs.And that past feeling,that chemistry,that spark,starts rekindling again and they start falling into each other.However,they have to part once again..Thus its somewhat a bittersweet situation.Why is fate so harsh sometimes?

    General Comment:i not agree with brownsugar, i think this song is about being away from the person you love and you are going to see him again and you are so exited and you are telling him that you love him , this song reminds me so much of my ex boyfriend, i think it does remind some exes to other people, this is a kind of song you love the first time you hear it, it brings me so much memories

    General Comment:To me this song has a different meaning - that of someone just starting up an affair after a long build up. I won't look down is maybe saying 'I won't think about the one I'm with' because they are too caught up in the moment, but then they see the way Gravity (or your coimmitment to another and your life with them) is pulling on them, 'I can't help crying' could be recognition that it's wrong but you just can't help it, it's been a long time coming and a long time waiting to have that moment with the one you are so besotted with, and your heart is pounding.

    General Comment:I think SmallOrange has got it right there. It reminds me of my friend (were not together). "it's been a long time coming" like years of friendship or something when fate is always pulling you together. Actually I cant even write what it means to me, there just aren't the words so i'm gonna give up now!

    General Comment:Pretty song. Found it on one of my CDs yesterday. Never heard it before. It is very Coldplay, i can imagine Chris Martin singing it easily.

    General Comment:I dont think its about lost love, more found love - at last! I had a "special" friend but we couldnt be together because of complications. But the love we shared was too strong to ignore, so eventually we got together :O) - It's been a long time coming.....Such a long time running..... and im pleased to say now I cant stop smiling!!

    General Comment:this song always upsets me, it reminds me of the guy I like and how he's had to move away for a year. This was out when we'd eventually told each other how we felt, which made me happy but also sad as he was going away so we couldn't act on it - mirrored when the line "can't stop smiling" changes to "can't stop crying" in another verse. I always think that if he comes back and we end up together it'll hold even more meaning. . . . . . "it's been a long time coming". So sad I know!
