[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 a masquerade

Tеll me how real we rеally 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 fallin' 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 doin' you damage

Just another night, thinkin' how do I manage?

Open up the door and wake me up when I'm landin'

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 down, 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 clarity)

My feet, feet don't fail me now (No, I won't find my clarity, no)

I'll be right here on the ground (Oh, oh)

My feet, feet don't fail me now (Mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)


[Outro]

Mm, mm

Oh

Da-da-da-da-da-da (Yeah)

Mm, mm

Oh-oh, oh-oh
