Gravity's Bringing Us Down Lyrics
Ba Da Ba Da Da Da x 3749837498475984759857

I never saw you up there
Cause you never made a sound
If I knew what you up to
I would have shot you down

Hey! Whatdya say?
Im on the rebound
Watch me fall at the speed of sound
You train your fingers, cocked(?) and im feeling weak
Open wide, Im paralyzed


You were workin on the inside
Disconnecting the alarm
Always messing up your signals
Tryin to turn me off


Hey! Whatdya say?
Im on the rebound
Watch me fall at the speed of sound
You train your fingers, cocked(?) and im feeling weak
Open wide, Im paralyzed

Over the hills
The frequency is breaking down
Dont wanna guess but i think its time we turned around

Im soft, but ill be alright
Soft, but ill be alright
Soft, yea ill be alright
Soooooft


Hey! Whatdya say?
Im on the rebound
Watch me fall at the speed of sound
You train your fingers, cocked(?) and im feeling weak
Open wide, Im paralyzed

We're getting high
But we're still feeling down
Gravity has a way of pinning us to the ground


Im soft, but ill be alright
Soft, but ill be alright
Soft, yea ill be alright
Soooooft

Lonely.. im just
Lonely.. im just
Lonely.. im just
Lonely..

guys... i think you're overthinking this finger line ;) it is 'your trigger finger's cocked.' as in 'you have a gun pointed at me,' in a metaphorical sense. as in 'you have all the power, and i'll do whatever you say.'

to me, it's a song about relationship politics. he's in a confusing relationship and they are never on the same page, but she's the one with the power because 'he's on the rebound.' he feels powerless to her even though he doesn't know where she stands: her 'trigger finger's cocked,' he's 'feeling weak'...

I think this song is actually a guy singing about how much he hates gravity. Am I crazy in thinking this?

Either way, it's a great song, and I can't help but I dance when I hear those opening bars.

Uggh, stop nitpicking... I love the almost country twang at the start... after I first heard this, for days I just always found myself absentmindedly singing that first verse, "I never saw you up there/ cuz you never made a sound/ if i'd a known what you were up to/ i would a shot you down"

Beulah is so catchy... just great feel-good music

"You train your fingers, cocked"

translates into

"You're trigger finger's caught"

If it had been talking about the actual TRIGGER, then it would be plausible that the words were 'cocked' and not 'caught'. However, they are talking about the trigger FINGER, that is to say, the finger on the trigger.

How often do you cock your finger? You can cock a trigger, not a finger. Therefore I can assure you it is 'caught'.

It's not. Its caught. You know how when you see someone actually say the word you can tell the difference between say a ocked sound and an aught sound?
Well i saw them and Miles definitley said caught. Hope that clears things up.

a really good song. not as good as "if we can put a man on the moon, then surely i can win your heart," but a great song nonetheless. beulah is awesome. and yes its definitely "my trigger finger's caught"

actually, i think it is "cocked". but whatever it is, this song is still awesome.. maybe i'm taking it out of context because of situations i find myself in, but i think this song is about realizing someone you fell in love with is really toying with you and your emotions. gosh, i love beulah..

FAVORITE PART: "hey! would ya say, i'm on the rebound? watch me fall at the speed of sound. your trigger finger's cocked, and i'm feeling weak; open wide, i'm paralyzed" AND "i'm just lonely, i'm just lonely, i'm just lonely.."

I think that the lyric marked as "You train your fingers, cocked(?)" is actually "Your trigger finger's caught"...does anyone agree?
