[Verse 1]
You look beautiful as usual, kind of like the day that we met
I would have never known when you said hello
You would 'cause the damage you did

[Pre-Chorus]
And I still wear the foot prints that you left upon my heart
From the day that you walked out of my world
And I still catch myself looking out the window for your car
I know you'd probably think that I'd be over it
But baby, I don't think that I will ever be

[Chorus]
'Cause I never had a fear of heights 'til you let me down
So you can find me right where you left me
'Cause loving you has taught me that I'm safer on the ground
Bеlieved I could fly, but it's over now
So you can find mе right where you left me
'Cause loving you has taught me that I'm safer on the ground

[Verse 2]
I tell myself I'm fine and that I'm gonna be alright
And I believe it for a minute or two but then our song comes on
I halfway smile because I still hear you singing off tune

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I still wear the foot prints that you left upon my heart
From the day that you walked out of my world
And I still catch myself looking out the window for your car
I know you'd probably think that I'd be over it
But baby, I don't think that I will ever be

[Chorus]
'Cause I never had a fear of heights 'til you let me down
So you can find me right where you left me
'Cause loving you has taught me that I'm safer on the ground
Believed I could fly, but it's over now
So you can find me right where you left me
'Cause loving you has taught me that I'm safer on the ground

[Outro]
Safer on the ground
'Cause loving you has taught me that I'm safer on the ground
But I know now, I'm safer on the ground
Oh, yeah, safer on the ground
Oh, yeah, the ground
I believed I could fly 'til you let me down
I'm safer on the ground

Tevin Campbell is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter that got his career started with two big names in music—first working with Quincy Jones in 1989 on “Tomorrow (A Better You, Better Me)” from the album Back on the Block and then working with Prince on “Round and Round” from the Graffiti Bridge soundtrack in 1990.

His debut album T.E.V.I.N. was released on November 19, 1991 and features the #1 R&B hits “Tell Me What You Want Me To Do” and “Alone With You,” which helped the album go platinum and earn Tevin a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. His next album I’m Ready was released on October 26, 1993 and featured the Babyface-produced hits “Can We Talk” and “I’m Ready.” This album went double platinum and led to three more Grammy nominations for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “Can We Talk,” Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for “I’m Ready,” and Best R&B Album.

Tevin’s third album Back to the World was released on June 25, 1996 and he followed that up with the release of a self-titled album on February 23, 1999. He appeared in the Broadway musical Hairspray in 2005 and after some guest appearances on various shows throughout the years, he released the song “Safer on the Ground” in 2016.
