  • My life's been magic, seems fantastic
    I used to have a hole in the wall with a mattress
    Funny when you want it, suddenly you have it
    You find out that your gold's just plastic

    Every day, every night
    I've been thinkin' back on you and I
    Every day, every night

    I worked my whole life
    Just to get right, just to be like
    "Look at me, I'm never coming down"
    I worked my whole life
    Just to get high, just to realize
    Everything I need is on the
    Everything I need is on the ground

    On the ground
    Everything I need is on the ground
    (Nah, but they don't hear me though)
    (Yeah, what goes up must come down)
    (Nah, but they don't hear me though)
    (You're runnin' out of time)

    My world's been hectic, seems electric
    But I've been waking up with your voice in my head
    And I'm tryna send a message and let you know that
    Every single minute I'm without you, I regret it

    Every day, every night
    I've been thinkin' back on you and I
    Every day, every night

    I worked my whole life
    Just to get right, just to be like
    "Look at me, I'm never coming down"
    I worked my whole life
    Just to get high, just to realize
    Everything I need is on the
    Everything I need is on the ground

    On the ground
    Everything I need is on the ground
    (Nah, but they don't hear me though)
    (Yeah, what goes up must come down)
    (Nah, but they don't hear me though)
    (You're runnin' out of time)

    I'm way up in the clouds
    And they say I've made it now
    But I figured it out
    Everything I need is on the ground (yeah, yeah)
    Just drove by your house (just drove by your house)
    So far from you now (so far from you now)
    But I figured it out
    Everything I need is on the
    Everything I need is on the ground

    On the ground
    Everything I need is on the ground
    (Nah, but they don't hear me though)
    On the ground
    (Nah, but they don't hear me though)
