Grounded Lyrics

Like an old motel, these drywall jungles paint my heart

And they make me feel like we've done something wrong

I can almost smell your pointed questions after dark

As I pick the grass and curl up on your lawn

'Cause I'll be the one you call when you're still in love with anyone

I'll be ready if you let me see the smoking gun

You're driving on the outside, four to go

You'll never get it back 'cause the days have too far flown

But you had to go

And get your pretty little souped-up nine-to-five

"You said you'll never grow.

Why'd you have to change your mind?

'Cause a best friend knows I'm grounded."

I'm grounded

I'm grounded

I'm grounded

It's a loner's hell to feel those teardrops hit my heart

When I can't relate to your nostalgic moan

I'll be just as well all on my own in Central Park

Than to fake my laughter in a stranger's home

'Cause give me the time, next fall

You'll be standing in a vacant hall

Wondering why your Monday nights have come to feel so cold

You're driving on the outside, four to go

You'll never get it back 'cause the days have too far flown

But you had to go

And buy those silly little discount 45s

So everybody knows

Modern art's a waste of time

It's a shame you're so grounded

You're grounded

You're grounded

You're grounded

Like an old motel, these drywall jungles paint my heart

And they make me feel like we've done something wrong

'Cause you've been driving on the outside, four to go

You'll never get it back, the days have too far flown

But you had to go

And let your pity be the route down which you drive

You know we're growing old

Now you have to face your crimes

'Cause a best friend knows I'm grounded

(Fall in, fall out)

Because you leave me grounded

(Fall in, fall out)

Because you leave me grounded

(Fall in, fall out)

Because you leave me grounded
