Philosophy Lyrics

Won’t you look up at the skyline At the mortar block and glass And check out the reflections in my eyes
You see they always used to be there Even when this all was grass And I sang and danced about a high-rise
And you were laughing at my helmet hat Laughing at my torch
You go ahead, you can laugh all you want I got my philosophy, keeps my feet on the ground And I trust it like the ground And that’s why my philosophy It keeps me walking when I’m falling down
I see that there is evil And I know that there is good And the inbetweens I never understood
Won’t you look at me, I’m crazy? But I get the job done Yeah, I’m crazy but I get the job done
And I say, "Go ahead, you can laugh all you want But I got my philosophy, keeps my feet on the ground [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/philosophy-lyrics-ben-folds.html ] And I trust it like the ground And that’s why my philosophy It keeps me walking when I’m falling down"
I pushed you ’cause I loved you guys I didn’t realize you weren’t having fun
I dragged you up the stairs and I told you to fly You were flapping your arms, you started to cry You were too high, oh too high
You may take this all for granted You take the mortar, block and glass And you forget the speech that moved the stone
But it’s really not that you can’t see The forest for the trees You’ve never been out in the woods alone
So you can laugh all you want to I got my philosophy Keeps my feet on the ground And I love you, you’re my friend But you got no philosophy Now it’s time for this song to end
