Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cotton candy-colored skies even put a smile on my broken muse
Somethin' 'bout the sunset pleases me and brings out the best in you
I could stare at you all evenin', meltin' into the mountainside
Now I'm focusin' on my breathin', wonderin' how I got so high
[Chorus]
I'll be right here on the ground
My feet, feet don't fail me now
I'll be right here on the ground
My feet, feet don't fail me now
[Verse 2]
Only took a gram and a half, saw your body tessellate
We go out and skate under moonlight, disappear in the masquerade
Tell me how real we really are, sayin' we're in some simulation
How to become self-aware when everything seems so calculated?
[Chorus]
I'll be right here on the ground
My feet, feet don't fail me now
I'll be right here on the ground
My feet, feet don't fail me now
[Verse 3]
And I'm skatin'
Different color whips, but they'll all remain stainless
If you've fallen off, then you will remain nameless
Sneakin' out the back with the ones that I came with
See it in your eyes that you wanna be
I can see it in your eyes that it's doing you damage
Just another night, thinkin', how do I manage?
Open up the door and wake me up when I've landed
[Verse 4]
Most of them never had the heart
Let alone, where's your empathy?
Need to put the blame on intent
Gotta let go of your resent
When you're gone, the world doesn't stop
No, you won't be the last to leave
Sun is done, another day is spent
But I won't find my clarity
[Chorus]
I'll be right here on the ground (I won't find my mind at ease)
My feet, feet don't fail me now (No, I won't find my clarity, no)
I'll be right here on the ground
My feet, feet don't fail me now
