47 Feet Lyrics

What happened to the make believe?
It's escaped.
I felt it rise above me and, fly away.
What happened to the world around?
It's changed.
Well I didn't see it leave but it's, gone away.

I'm forty-seven feet above the ground,
And I'm fallin'.
So could you be the one to slow me down?
When I'm callin'.
I'm forty-seven feet above the ground,
And I'm fallin'.
Forty-seven feet above the ground.

What happened to all my mistakes?
They're the same.
I tried to throw 'em all away,
Into space.
What happened to all the choices, we made?
'Cause it could be just one thing that changes, everything.

'Cause every time it feels just like the same thing, again
And even if I try to fight it I feel like, yeah, yeah.

I'm forty-seven feet above the ground,
And I'm fallin'.
So could you be the one to slow me down?
When I'm callin'.
I'm forty-seven feet above the ground,
And I'm fallin'.
I'm forty-seven feet above the ground, yeah, yeah.
I'm forty-seven feet above the ground,
And I'm fallin'.
Could you be the one to slow me down? yeah, yeah
I'm forty-seven feet above the ground,
And I'm fallin'.
So could you be the one to slow me down? Oh yeah.

I'm fallin'.

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.

The clear, crisp guitar in this song is a great start to Reverie, and always reminds me of a cool, bright Autumn day, walking through the golden orange trees.
