Back To The Ground
Cullum Jamie Lyrics

Lately, I've let myself go
Recently, I have neglected my well-being

I've been screening the calls
I have avoided answering calls from both friends and foes alike

From my friends to my foes
I have ignored calls from everyone - both friends and enemies

Although I've been weak
Even though I have been struggling internally

Far for so very long
I have been distant from reality for a long time

I gotta get myself
I need to take control of my life and change my ways

Back to the ground
I need to return to my roots and reconnect with reality

Sultry siren messed with my song
A seductive temptation has disrupted my life

I'm gonna send her back
I plan to remove this temptation from my life

To where she belongs
She needs to return to her rightful place and stay away from me

I keep my enemies
I hold onto my foes too closely

Much, much, much too close
I keep them closer than I should, which causes problems

When you're attracted to the danger
When you are drawn to danger and excitement

And tasting every flavour
And experiencing everything life has to offer

Then bring it on and bleed yourself dry
Embrace the thrill and take risks, even if it leads to exhaustion

Reality is twisted
The real world can be confusing and disorienting

Your mind's getting shoplifted
Your thoughts are being influenced and stolen by outside forces

Is there underneath an innocent guy?
Is there a version of myself that is still pure and trustworthy?

So clearly, I've let myself go
It is obvious that I have been neglecting my own well-being

So does admission take my sins to a new low?
If I confess my mistakes, will it make me look worse?

And when you're way down there
When you have hit rock bottom

You'll find all those old friends you used to know
You will rediscover your true friends and support system

And they're gonna help ya
And they will assist you in getting back on track

Get yourself back to the ground
Helping you reconnect with reality and find balance in life
