Grounded

Sitting in your room alone playing with yourself

Do you like it, really like it?

All alone, this cannot be, just you and no one else

Do you like it, really like it?

Now you're staring at the sky

Wondering how the clouds can be formed

Are the pictures in your head the same

As drawings from a reverie?

Water in the air and then deformed

Is it changing what you see?

Just stare through your window

Creating your own little show

Passing through the fields and counting the rows

You're counting the rows as you go by

The driving machine pouring water on the stones

Of the California roads you fly by

If you stare too long

If you stare too long through your window

It's easy to cry

Hey Johnny, now who's the boss

How's the weather inside, do you like it?

Really like it?

Oh, we get away with everything

You see that we're outside and we like it

Really like it

Why so somber through the glass?

Get up off your butt and come join us

See you play the day away

So please don't get hysterical

I know you can't come out 'cause you're grounded

Just stare through your window

Creating your own little show

Passing through the fields and counting the rows

You're counting the rows as you go by

The driving machines are pouring water on the stones

Of the California roads you fly by

If you stare too long

If you stare too long through your window

It's easy to cry

Oh, but it's over now

Or has it just begun?

You're still bound by your stupid rules

And all your friends are outside, the coulds in the sky

And they're hoping you'll be there soon

You wanna feel the wave, see the tide

And stare at the big blue sky

You wanna see the sun, and the moon

And to your rules goodbye

You wanna feel the wave, and with your eyes

To see outside again

You wanna feel alive, feel alive
