Discover the story of the song > Flying on the Ground Is Wrong – Buffalo Springfield

The protagonist feels like his life is falling apart and he's struggling to stand. He misses his partner, but he's not sure if their way of dealing with their problems (crying and holding on, but still feeling lost) is the right one. He wishes they could meet in a place where they both feel like they belong. Sometimes he feels like a helpless child, but he's changed and can't go back to how things were before. He notices the differences between himself and his partner, but he still misses her.
