Grounded

Sitting in your room alone
Playing with yourself, do you like it?
Really like it?
You're 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

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,
But 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?
Do you really like it?
We get away with everything,
You can see that we're outside and we like it
We really like it
Why so somber through the glass?
Get up off your butt and come join us
Soon you'll play the day away
So please don't get hysterical,
We know you can't come out
Because 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,
But 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 clouds in the sky,
And they're hoping you'll be there soon
You want to feel the wave,
See the tide,
And stare at the big blue sky
You want to see the sun,
And the moon,
And to your rules goodbye
You want to feel the wave,
With your eyes,
To see outside again
You want to feel alive
Feel alive
