From the recording <br>Get Back Off the Ground
Another song that started out as a simple lyrical idea with a melody that I thought fit the words: "we used to be da-da-da-da." I did a rough demo of this song as soon as I finished writing it, which demo sat around for a few years before I decided to pull it out for the Tribute album. One instrument at a time was replaced, except for the lead guitar.
Lyrics
Get Back Off the Ground
We used to be so amazing
Just you and me beyond the world
We spent our nights stargazing
Followed the dreams of a boy and girl
Tear down the wall
Stones have to fall
Yesterday come and bring us home again
Turn away from the road we’ve taken
Put us back on the way we started down, heaven bound
Start all over
Get back off the ground
Cozumel days, Cancun evenings
Love was a play without an end
People would say we were dreaming
Soaring away through the firmament
We have desire
To relight to fire
Remember when our love was everything
Begin again, replay that feeling
Put us back on the way we started down, heaven bound
Start all over
Get back off the ground
We’ve been together too long not to survive
It’s not so hard to keep our love alive
Sailing away on this ocean
Chances are high we’ll go down
Let’s put away indecision
Seize the day, don’t let us drown
Tear down the wall
Stones have to fall
Yesterday come and bring us home again
Turn away from the road we’ve taken
Put us back on the way we started down, heaven bound
Start all over
Get back off the ground
Start all over
Get back off the ground
Get back off the ground
Get back off the ground
Get back off the ground
