Story Behind The Song
I had given up on my music career and started a family. While my wife and children are the most important to me, I realized that I had been running from myself when I stopped pursuing music as my life's work and felt like I needed to hit a "reset" button on that and start over.

Lyrics
I've got a secret, I've got a secret, I've got a secret that no one knows
In the deep end, I'm asleep and getting pull from the undertow
The water's washing me out, all my faces of doubt, with every second it picks up speed
First I'm standing still and then I'm sinking in
It's more than just gravity
I am an actor trying to pass for any role in reality
My face is plastic, my motions drastic, a pratfall in a comedy
But there's nobody there as I fall through the air, no applause coming back at me
I was laughing too loud, and I got stuck in the ground
It's more than just gravity
Reset, go back, to the start let me begin again
