[Verse 1]
My life's been magic, seems fantastic
I used to have a hole in the wall with a mattress
Funny when you want it, suddenly you have it
You find out that your gold's just plastic
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day, every night
I've been thinkin' back on you and I
Every day, every night
[Chorus]
I worked my whole life
Just to get right, just to be like
"Look at me, I'm never comin' down"
I worked my whole life
Just to get high, just to realise
Everything I need is on the
Everything I need is on the ground
[Post-Chorus]
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 runnin' out of time)
[Verse 2]
My world's been hectic, seems electric
But I've been wakin' up with your voice in my head
And I'm tryna send a message and let you know
That every single minute I'm without you, I regret it
[Pre-Chorus]
Every day, every night
I've been thinkin' back on you and I
Every day, every night
[Chorus]
I worked my whole life
Just to get right, just to be like
"Look at me, I'm never comin' down"
I worked my whole life
Just to get high, just to realise
Everything I need is on the
Everything I need is on the ground
[Post-Chorus]
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 runnin' out of time)
[Bridge]
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 (Yeah, yeah)
Just drove by your house (Just drove by your house)
So far from you now (So far from you now)
But I figured it out
Everything I need is on the
Everything I need is on the ground
[Outro]
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

“On The Ground” is a song that helps me sort out my life purpose, so I want fans to hear it as soon as possible. I hope they can sympathize with the lyrics.
While recording, I sang while imagining a character people could relate to. I tried writing the lyrics as if they were captions.
I want peopl...
Basically the song is kind of about looking for answers in life for a purpose in life, and I feel like people especially these days, can relate to it, sometimes when you’re always kind of on that roll, you kind of forget to take care of what actually matters to you most, and it’s just a song that sa...
The reason I feel inclined to it, is because of how much it matches my life one-dimensionally. From when I was a trainee, I lived day to day, running towards by dreams. Once in awhile, there are moments where I’d question my motives, and I think the lyrics express this really well. I think this is s...

I think this choreography was really pretty. When you look at the final product as a whole, I think it really goes well with the song, I think it has a lot of elements, expression, and interpretations, like using the floor. We literally lie down after saying ‘On the ground,’ and do motions on the fl...
