Wow. I've been listening to this song on repeat because it hits so close to home for me. After years of a strictly platonic relationship, I now find myself with feelings for one of my best friends. At first, I felt that the feelings could have possibly been mutual but at this point, I don't think he feels the same way. I think this is exactly the situation Sara is talking about. Take the second verse for example:
"You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love
And not feel your rain."
I take this to mean that the person (or in my situation the guy) doesn't realize their affect on Sara. They don't see how they're making you fall deeper for them by merely being themselves. And Sara just wants to be loved so badly by this person but as the chorus says:
"Set me free, leave me be.
I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me."
And listening to the song, I don't see that Sara feels any animosity towards the person she's in love with, which especially makes me think that the person she's interested in is a friend. (It's harder to be angry at a friend for leading you on than a random person) I just think she wants the "gravity" to stop pulling her in.
