[Verse 1]
I left the map at home
Took the long way out
Empty roads and open hands
Let the silence sort me out
Sometimes you have to get lost to be found
I watched my old name fall down
Off the edge of town
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was scared at first
Then I heard my own steps
Nobody chasing me
Just my breath
Just my breath
[Chorus]
Solid ground, solid ground
I can hear it now
Solid ground, solid ground
I’m not falling down
Being alone isn’t the worst thing
(It isn’t the worst thing)
I can build again
On solid ground
[Verse 2]
I put the boxes by the door
Kept the photos in a drawer
Broke the spell of needing more
Than a room with a locked front door
I learned my heart can hold
A little quiet, a little cold
And still not break
Still not fold
[Pre-Chorus]
And I was scared at first
Then I heard my own steps
Nobody chasing me
Just my breath
Just my breath
[Chorus]
Solid ground, solid ground
I can hear it now
Solid ground, solid ground
I’m not falling down
Being alone isn’t the worst thing
(It isn’t the worst thing)
I can build again
On solid ground
[Bridge]
Let the old house burn
Let the dust settle slow
What was never mine
Was never home
Now my hands are free
Now my feet know where to go
One step, then another
Watch me grow
[Chorus]
Solid ground, solid ground
I can hear it now
Solid ground, solid ground
I’m not falling down
Being alone isn’t the worst thing
(It isn’t the worst thing)
I can build again
On solid ground
