When Your Feet Don’t Touch The Ground lyrics

When did life become so complicated?

Years of too much thought and time I wasted

And in each line upon my face

Is proof I fought and lived another day

When did life become this place of madness?

Drifting on an empty sea of waves and sadness?

I may believe I'm in control

And dream it wasn't all my fault

When your feet don't touch the ground

When your voice won't make a sound

Here, it's safe, in this place, above the clouds

When your feet don't touch the earth

You can't feel the things that hurt

And you're free, there's no need to come down

When your feet don't touch the ground

Everyday just feels a little longer

Why am I the only one not getting stronger?

Running around pretending life's a play

It doesn't make the darkness go away

I may be young but I can still remember

Feeling full of joy, crying tears of laughter

Now all my tears are all cried out

Make-believe, but count me out

'Cause my feet are on the ground

And the inner voice I've found

Tells the truth, "There's no use

If your head's in the clouds"

With my feet on solid earth

I can face the things that hurt

And in time, I'll be fine

I'll come 'round

I was once like you

Life was a maze

I couldn't find my way out

But what I say is true

You will be amazed

Make-believe and you will find out that it's true

When your feet don't touch the ground

When your voice won't make a sound

Here, it's safe. In this place

Above the clouds

When your feet don't touch the earth

You can't feel the things that hurt

And you're free, there's no need, to come down

When your feet don't touch the ground
