I've had my fair share of black eyes and bloody noses, yeah You can't always win the fight And I've accepted my weakness in those moments, yeah You can't always put out the fire But even when you fall down if you decide to lie there you'll find that... The sky looks better from the ground anyway And you never lost a fight that didn't teach you something great And you prolly need a break from all the rah rah anyhow You'll get up when you wanna cause they can't hold you down The sky looks better from your place in the dirt And you never fought a war that hurt as much as it was worth And you prolly need a break from all the standing up anyhow So stay down I've touched my fair share of thorns hidden on roses, yeah You can't always pick them right And I got wrapped up in too many storms when I was loaded, yeah You can't always seize the night Cause even when you're run down the rain won't know the difference And even when you're beat up the rain won't stop to think And even when you fall down if you decide to lie there you'll find that... The sky looks better from the ground anyway And you never lost a fight that didn't teach you something great And you prolly need a break from all the rah rah anyhow You'll get up when you wanna cause they can't hold you down The sky looks better from your place in the dirt And you never fought a war that hurt as much as it was worth And you prolly need a break from all the standing up anyhow So stay down Cause even when you're run down the rain won't know the difference And even when you're beat up the rain won't stop to think Cause even when you call out the rain won't ever listen And even when you head home the rain won't say goodbye Say goodbye, say goodbye The sky looks better from the ground anyway And you never lost a fight that didn't teach you something great And you prolly need a break from all the rah rah anyhow You'll get up when you wanna cause they can't hold you down The sky looks better from your place in the dirt And you never fought a war that hurt as much as it was worth And you prolly need a break from all the standing up anyhow I said the sky looks better from the ground anyway And you never lost a fight that didn't teach you something great And you prolly need a break from all the rah rah anyhow You'll get up when you wanna cause they can't hold you down The sky looks better from your place in the dirt And you never fought a war that hurt as much as it was worth And you prolly need a break from all the standing up anyhow So stay down So stay down Cause the sky looks better from the ground anyway, yeah Anyway, yeah I said the sky looks better from the ground anyway And you never lost a fight that didn't teach you something great And you prolly need a break from all the rah rah anyhow You'll get up when you wanna cause they can't hold you down The sky looks better from your place in the dirt And you never fought a war that hurt as much as it was worth And you prolly need a break from all the standing up anyhow So stay down
