Grounded

When eight turns sideways

You head on down the highway

Say this is my way

Disappearing forever

But there ain't just one way

So you choose the fun way

Sliding down the runway

On a ticket that goes two ways

And by the way that it sounded

You thought that you'd be astounded

But you left it like you found it

'Cause it wasn't yours to take

What once seemed like dying

Soon turned into flying

So you settle for trying

And you wish you were grounded

No, you cannot get much higher

Than your utmost desire

So you bring it down to size and

Now it seems that you are grounded

Grounded

By the way that it sounded

You thought that you'd be astounded

But you left it like you found it

Now you find that you are grounded
