Flying on the Ground Lyrics

Like a lonely soul on an empty sea
Behind a setting sun, I bet you can't find me
I'm flying on the ground
Yeah, I'm upside down
'Cause I got so high
I walk in single file, on an open road
My head is in the clouds, got a heart of gold
I'm flying on the ground
Yeah, I'm upside down
'Cause I got so high
You never do what you're told
You're coming out of the cold
And we'll say a prayer for everyone that we know
As the years go by, I'll wipe the tear from your eye
All we need is love and a place we call home
You never do what you're told
I'm coming out of the cold
We'll say a prayer for everyone that we know
And the years go by, I'll dry the tears from your eye
All we need is love and a place we call home
You never do what you're told
You're coming out of the cold
And we'll say a prayer for everyone that we know
As the years go by, I'll wipe the tears from your eye
All we need is love and a place we call home
Like a lonely soul, on an empty sea
Behind a setting sun, I bet you can't find me
I'm flying on the ground
Yeah, I'm upside down
'Cause I got so high
I'm flying on the ground
Yeah, I'm upside down
'Cause I got so high
I'm flying on the ground
Yeah, I'm upside down
'Cause I got so high

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.
