[English]

My life's been magic seems fantastic

I used to have a hole in the wall with a mattress

It’s funny when you want it

Suddenly you have it

You find out that your gold’s just plastic

Every day every night

I’ve been thinking back on you and I

Every day every night

I worked my whole life

Just to get right just to be like

Look at me I’m never coming down

I worked my whole life

Just to get high just to realize

Everything I need is on the

Everything I need is on the ground

On the ground

Everything I need is on the ground

Nah but they don’t hear me though (Yeah what goes up it must come down)

Nah but they don’t hear me though (You’re running out of time)

My world’s been hectic seems electric

But I’ve been waking up with your voice in my head

And I’m trying to send a message

And let you know that every single minute I’m without you I regret it

Every day every night

I’ve been thinking back on you and I

Every day every night

I worked my whole life

Just to get right just to be like

Look at me I’m never coming down

I worked my whole life

Just to get high just to realize

Everything I need is on the

Everything I need is on the ground

On the ground

Everything I need is on the ground

Nah but they don’t hear me though (Yeah what goes up it must come down)

Nah but they don’t hear me though (You’re running out of time)

I’m way up in the clouds

And they say I’ve made it now

But I figured it out

Everything I need is on the ground

Just drove by your house

So far from you now

But I figured it out

Everything I need is on the

Everything I need is on the ground

On the ground

Everything I need is on the ground

Nah but they don’t hear me though

On the ground

Nah but they don’t hear me though

Everything I need is on the ground
