The Ground Beneath the Float

The Ground Beneath the Float

Say my name…….. GrizzlyJones

(Verse 1)

Yeah, Dats Me

The coffee’s cold now, but the air is clearI finally whispered what I was holding in fear The ghost in the corner didn’t put up a fight Once I stepped out of the shadow and into the light I told you my patterns, the maps of my scars How I’m used to the crash, not the reach for the stars You didn't turn away or look for the door You just sat in the quiet on the hardwood floor

(Chorus)

And my heart isn’t floating in the air today The gravity found me and I’m choosing to stay It wasn't a red flag, just a bird passing by The truth isn't hidden in a beautiful lie I’m tired of being right about the ending of songs I’m learning the rhythm of where I belong Yeah, my feet hit the pavement in the light of the day

(Verse 2)

I’m still checking exits, it’s a habit of mind But the reasons for running are further behind When your demeanor shifted and the air turned stillI didn't just spiral or climb up the hillI saw my reaction, the way that I glassed The present-day love with the pain of the past I’m owning the noise and the sparks that I threw Because the root of the growth is this version of you

(Bridge)

It’s a small step forward, a heavy-set breath We’re beating the cycle, we’re cheating the death Of a dream I was sure was too good to be true Now I’m bracing for sunshine instead of the blue The smoke that I smelled was just a memory’s fire And I’m finally calling my history a liar

(Chorus)

And my heart isn’t floating in the air today The gravity found me and I’m choosing to stay It wasn't a red flag, just a bird passing byThe truth isn't hidden in a beautiful lie I’m tired of being right about the ending of songs I’m learning the rhythm of where I belong Yeah, my feet hit the pavement in the light of the day

(Outro)

I’m holding on tight.No more letting it go.I’m finally the first one to know. GrizzlyJones...I’m glad I was wrong this time.
