My life's been magic seems fantastic
I used to have a hole in the wall with a mattress
It's 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 thinking 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 realise
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 it must come down)
Nah but they don't hear me though
(You're running 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 trying to 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 thinking 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 realise
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 it must come down)
Nah but they don't hear me though
(You're running 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

Just drove by your house
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
Everything I need is on the ground
