Philosophy
Ben Folds Five
Letra

Verse I:

Won't you look up at the skyline,
at the mortar, blocks 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.

Chorus:

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 (ground),
And that's why my philosophy (my feel),
It keeps me walking when I'm falling down (I felt this),

Verse II:

I see that there is evil,
and I know that there is good,
and the in-betweens I never understood.

Won't you look at me I'm crazy,
but I get the job done,
and I'm crazy but I get the job done.
I say:

Chorus:

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 (ground),
And that's why my philosophy (my feel),
It keeps me walking when I'm falling down (I felt this).

Bridge:

I pushed you cause I loved you guys,
I didn't realize,
you weren't having fun.
And I dragged you up the stairs,
and I told you to fly,
you were flapping your arms,
then you started to cry, you were too high,
No! Too high...

Verse III:

May you 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 from the trees,
you never been out in the woods alone.
So you can laugh all you want too.

Chorus/Outro:

But I've got my philosophy (keeps my feet on the ground),
and I love you you're my friend (frend),
but you got no philosophy (my feel),
now it's time for this song to end (I felt this).
