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
