You ever watch a little kid climbing a tree
And wonder how he gets so high
It's as if he simply has no fear of falling
Like the thought has never even crossed his mind

You can call it recklessness
Or even bravery
But chances are it's just no one's told him yet
About gravity

I bet most of us are not afraid of love
'Til the first time our hearts break
But ever after that we linger on the brink
'Cause we know what's at stake

It takes a little recklessness
And even bravery
To let go knowing what we know
About gravity

Chorus
It's a flaw of nature, can't be defeated
But if we're lucky we might get a chance to cheat it
So let's make the leap, there you go we're flying
Well don't look now, but we're defying gravity

There are hearts that are so full of their own fear
They come crashing to the ground
But the ones who have the nerve to trust their wings
Can soar as if they're never coming down

It's one part recklessness
And one part bravery
To risk it all on the mercy of the winds
And gravity

Repeat Chorus
