[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
But even when you fall down
If you decide to lie there you’ll find that…

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
And even when you fall down
If you decide to lie there you’ll find that…

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
So stay down
Cause the sky looks better from the ground anyway, yeah
Anyway, yeah

[Chorus]
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
