Flying On the Ground Is Wrong

Is my world not falling down?

I'm in pieces on the ground

And my eyes aren't open

And I'm standing on my knees

But if crying and holding on

And flying on the ground is wrong

Then I'm sorry to let you down

But you're from my side of town

And I'll miss you

Turn me up or turn me down

Turn me off or turn me 'round

I wish I could have met you in a place where we both belong

But if crying and holding on

And flying on the ground is wrong

Then I'm sorry to let you down

But you're from my side of town

And I'll miss you

Sometimes I feel

Like I'm just a helpless child

Sometimes I feel like a king

But baby, since I have changed

I can't take nothing home

City lights at a country fair

Never shine but always glare

If I'm bright enough to see you

You're just too dark to care

But if crying and holding on

And flying on the ground is wrong

Then I'm sorry to let you down

But you're from my side of town

And I'll miss you
