Troposphere Lyrics

Sit right next to me
Against the glass
Where we both can see

Focus on the ground
Disbelief
Where we used to be

What should I do now
Upside down
Fighting the gravity

I'll just lock the door
They won't know
How to find me

I could share it
You never saw it
Coming around

Even the bad parts
Move along
Better than they should

Now I'm waiting here
Disappear
Have you ever been so tired of yourself?

And I'll meet you here
In the troposphere
Lately I just haven't been myself

Back here on the ground
You’re half way gone
And the traffic drowns you out

Driving past that school
Where I grew up, yeah
Looking at you

I could share it
You never saw it
Coming around

Even the bad parts
Move along
Better than they should

Now I'm waiting here
Disappear
Have you ever been so tired of yourself?

And I'll meet you here
In the troposphere
Lately I just haven't been myself

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's about the great sine wave of life. One minute you're flying high, but then begin to fall. The song ends with his wishing to be restored to what he was.
