Ellie Goulding - When Your Feet Don't Touch the Ground lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

When did life become so complicated?

Years of too much thought & time I wasted

And in each line upon my face

Is proof I fought & lived another day

When did life become this place of madness?

Driftin' on an empty sea of waves & sadness?

I make believe I'm in control

And dream it wasn't all my fault

(Chorus)

When ur feet don't touch the ground

When ur voice won't make a sound

Here, it's safe, in this place, up off the clouds

When ur feet don't touch the earth

U can't feel the fates that hurt

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

When ur feet don't touch the ground

(Verse 2)

Everyday just feels a lil longer

Why am I the only one not gettin' stronger?

Runnin' around pretendin' life's a play

It doesn't make the darkness go away

I may be young but I can still remember

Feelin' full of joy, cryin' tears of laughter

Now all my tears are all cried out

Make-believe, but count me out

(Chorus)

Cause my feet are on the ground

And the inner voice I found

Tells the truth

'There's no use if ur head's in the clouds'

With my feet on solid earth

I can face the fates that hurt

And in time, I'll be fine

I'll come round

(Bridge)

I was once like u, life was a maze

I couldn't find my way out but what I say is true

U will be amazed

Make believe & u will find out that it's true

(Chorus)

When ur feet don't touch the ground

When ur voice won't make a sound

Here, it's safe, in this place

Up off the clouds when ur feet don't touch the earth

U can't feel the fates that hurt

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

When ur feet don't touch the ground
