Solid Ground
Jess Klein Lyrics

All the jewels in your collection
No matter how many riches one might possess, they cannot buy happiness.

You can't buy a sunny day yeah
Weather and the events of the world are unpredictable and uncontrollable.

And the yellow walls that shelter you
The walls of a home might offer security and comfort, but that security and comfort is often temporary and can't be relied upon.

Outside the skies have turned to grey
No matter how bright the walls of the home might be, the world outside can turn dark and bleak without warning.

And don't you find some peace of mind
It's difficult to find inner peace and happiness in a world that's often unpredictable and uncontrollable.

A little solid ground
Finding stability and consistency in life can offer some peace of mind.

We all won't bet
Life is full of risks and uncertainties, and we can't always count on things going according to plan.

I wonder why it's hardly ever found
Despite our desire for stability and peace, it's rare that we actually find it in a world that's often unpredictable and uncontrollable.

Well what is it with the tinman
The Tin Man from 'The Wizard of Oz' was a character who was searching for a heart, and yet even after he found it, he wasn't necessarily any happier.

He never learned his lesson in oz
The idea of finding happiness and contentment in life isn't always a straightforward or simple process.

He says look I have a heart now
Even after he found what he thought was missing from his life, it didn't necessarily solve everything for him.

Lay down your dollar
People are often willing to exchange their money for the hope of finding happiness or stability in life.

I'll join your little cause
People might be willing to throw their support behind something in the hopes that it will bring them satisfaction or happiness.

But I need some truth in my life
Finding meaning and truth in life is often an important part of feeling fulfilled.

I'm sick of the things I have ignored
Avoiding problems or ignoring issues in life can contribute to a feeling of unease or dissatisfaction.

I won't trade nothing for my energy
One's personal sense of motivation and drive is something that can't be bought or sold.

When its the only reason I can think of living for
Having a sense of purpose or drive in life is often what motivates us to keep going.

My best friend rides into town
Friends can be a source of support and comfort, but they can also bring unexpected surprises and complications.

Shacked up with my x-boyfriend yeah
Friendship and romantic relationships are both areas of life that can be unpredictable and complicated.

Doesn't tell me shes around
Friends might not always be truthful or upfront about their actions, even when it affects those around them.

As if our friendship revolves around him him
Friendships can be complicated by romantic relationships, and sometimes one person might feel left out or neglected as a result.

And don't you find some peace of mind
Finding inner peace and stability can be difficult, but it's often important for our mental health and wellbeing.

A little solid ground yeah
As much as we might desire stability and consistency in life, it can be hard to find and even harder to keep.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh heyyyyyy ohhhhhhhhhh
