When the light hits your eyes

In the morning

And the fight to survive

Is braking you down

You see a chance for an answer

To fill the empty spaces

But you still don't know what to do

You're too close to the ground

When the night closes in

Like an old friend

And the last of your pills

Is taking you down

You know the doctor's prescription

Ain't working like it used to

But you still don't know what to do

You're too close to the ground, still going down

All your life

You were waiting

Just to pass up the dream

And leave my town

You blew your chance for an answer

To fill the empty spaces

Oh, you just don't know what to do

You're too close to the ground

Too close to the ground, still going down
