lyrics

Blues have come, the blues are here,
The only thing I really fear
Is never seeing anything through.

It was all too right for her to leave
But damn it, girl, you won't believe
The hell that she put me to.

If you ever asked I'd give you more;
Don't know what I've been looking for,
But I've never really found enough.

So throw me down and don't let go,
Tell me things I want to know
About this hurt that we call love.

And keep my feet on the ground,
Yes, keep my feet on the ground.
Keep my feet on the ground,
Just keep them there,
Right on the ground.

Did you think that I could be
Something more than you'd ever seen?
Well, I'm sorry, love, I'm only me.

I'm tearing at the seams again,
Living in my dreams again,
I'm broken, love, can't you see?

It's all just words inside my head,
From every book I've ever read,
Where love is like a silent song.

So write me down and read me out,
Show me what it's all about
And tell me I've been doing it wrong.

And keep my feet on the ground,
Yes, keep my feet on the ground.
Keep my feet on the ground,
Just keep them there,
Right on the ground.

So dance with me, let's dance this night away.
It's strange, my girl, we never had that much to say.
So love me, honey, keep me, honey, do.
And I think that this time I might see it through.

So keep my feet on the ground,
Yes, keep my feet on the ground.
Keep my feet on the ground,
Just keep them there,
Right on the ground.
