Grounded

When I was a kid, I
Never knew what it is, I
Getting old, having kids, I
Thought I'd never say that
But if I ever have a kid, will
They wanna know what I did, will
They make friends, build ships, get in trouble?

Will you keep me grounded
When I feel surrounded
Backed into a corner?
Everything you say I'm down with
Movie night Tuesdays
Take me to the East Bay
Asking if I'm okay
It's hard to be my own hero
When the one I need is not close
Glad you came around
All I know now
Is you keep me grounded

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do

When our kid grows up, I'll
Be there for the breakups
I'll make sure to listen up, I
Thought I'd never say that
But when our kid gets a job, will
One day they be gone, will
They be there when I get ill?
The more I know

I'll keep you grounded
When you feel surrounded
Backed into a corner
Everything I say you're down with
Staying in Wednesday
Talk about the workday
Asking if you're okay
It's hard to be your own hero
When the one you need is not close
Glad you came around
All I know now
Is I'll keep you grounded

Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do-do

Oh, you keep me grounded
We'll con them too
If we have to
