The Ground Lyrics by Max Chernin

Drafts: The Music and Lyrics of Alexander Sage Oyen, Vol. 2

2013

[Verse 1]
Were we foolish?
Thinking this could turn out well?
Pretending that we could still be friends
This hurts, but at some point we have to let go
We did what we could and thought things were good
But everything comes to an end

[Chorus]
So this is what it feels like.
Knowing that it's done
Now the war is over and neither of us won
This is what life looks like without you around
Falling feels like flying until you hit the ground
Falling feels like flying until you hit the ground

[Verse 2]
How'd this happen
Especially to us?
We were simple, isn't that what we're supposed to be?
We wanted forever with each other
But forever is not a guarantee

[Chorus]
So this is what it feels like, knowing that it's done?
Now the war is over and neither of us won
This is what life looks life without you around
Falling feels like flying until you hit the ground
Falling feels like flying

[Bridge]
Mistake after mistake
Maybe we weren't up to the task
The foolish choices that we'd make
Maybe weren't always the best
So I guess what I'm trying to say tonight
Is that you are the only thing I've ever gotten right
You were the only thing I've ever gotten right

[Chorus]
So this is what it feels like knowing that it's done
Now the war is over and neither of us won
This is what life looks like without you around
Falling feels like flying until you hit the ground
Falling feels like flying until you hit.
The ground
